Hello,
I need to estimate BMI based on the simple technique of; BMI=weight/(height*height) but i'm getting wrong (not possible outcomes). Is it possible to redefine the variables weight and height so that good and reliable BMI estimations can be measured? Is this done with egen? I'm a little bit lost!
Attached I included a .doc file where it is shown how the variable weight (gewicht) and height (lengte) are measured and what the BMI estimations look like now.
Thank you very much in advance for the help!

Florian
