Sampling

Sampling Procedure
A multi-stage cluster sample of households. One individual within the age range of the survey was selected per household.
Response Rate
The overall response rate was 98.6% for STEP 1, 98.3% for STEP 2 and 89.8% for STEP 3.
Weighting
Analysis weights were calculated by taking the inverse of the probability of selection of each participant. These weights were adjusted for differences in the age-sex composition of the sample population as compared to the target population.

Different weight variables are available per Step:

- wStep1 - for interview data

- wStep2 - for physical measures

- wStep3 - for biochemical measures

This allows for differences in the weight calculation for each Step of the survey as the age-sex composition of the respondents to each Step can differ slightly due to refusal or drop out.
