Sampling
A stratified multi-stage sampling design was used to produce representative data. Known diabetics were excluded from the survey.
The overall response rate was 87%.
Analysis weights reflect adjustments 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.
