Hi Apologies this is my first post to this group.

 

I wish to calculate the prevalence rate and 95% confidence intervals for people by BMI category and age group by sex to produce the table below. Could you advise? Thanks for your help!

*********************************************************************************************************************************************

| Sex |   age group                       |  underweight | healthy            | overweight      | obese               |  Total 

*********************************************************************************************************************************************

| M    | 20-<30years                   | Prev (95%CI) | Prev (95%CI)  |Prev (95%CI)  |Prev (95%CI)  |Prev (95%CI)  |   etc

*********************************************************************************************************************************************

PROC FORMAT;
VALUE agefmt
20-<30 = '20-<30 years'
30-<40 = '30-<40 years'
40-<50 = '40-<50 years'
;
value bmifmt
9-<18.5 = 'Underweight (9-<18.5)'
18.5-<25 = 'Healthy (18.5-<25)'
25-<30 = 'Overweight (25-<30)'
30-51 = 'Obese (30+)';
VALUE sexfmt
0 = 'Female'
1 = 'Male'
