Spatial distribution of maternal and child undernutrition #7

Open ernestguevarra opened 9 months ago

kelechichima13 commented 9 months ago

We're considering categorising the child data based on the following definitions: Stunting, wasting, and underweight were taken separately as dependent variables with binary categories. Stunting is defined as the children with height-for-age Z-score (HAZ) <−2SD and severe stunting is defined as the children with HAZ <−3SD. Global acute malnutrition (GAM) or wasting is defined as the children with weight-for-height Z-score (WHZ) <−2SD and/or MUAC <125 mm and/or the presence of bilateral pitting oedema. Similarly, severe acute malnutrition (SAM) or severe wasting is defined as children with WHZ <−3SD and/or MUAC <115 mm and/or the presence of bilateral pitting oedema. Underweight is defined as the children with weight-for-age Z-score (WAZ) <−2SD and severe underweight is defined as the children with WAZ <−3SD

For the women, we're considering using this:

For the women, we're considering using this:

  • Adult women MUAC <22cm is underweight

OK! Just remember that the MUAC values in the dataset is in mm so your cutoff will be 220.

Regarding your question to me in class regarding how to get to locality, state and national estimates, I will show an example of this on Monday that demonstrates the use of dplyr. From there, hopefully you can as a team easily get through the summaries so you can start plotting the maps.

Team @OxfordIHTM/hinata, I just merged your standing pull request. Apologies for delay but your whole PR was huge (but lots of good work which just needs a bit of polishing off in our last session.

Well done and your team has the most team members with recorded contributions now in the project!

I made a few additional issues all related to just tidying up and also challenging you to improve on your code (we call this re-factoring) not because it is wrong but that you can potentially make it more streamlined. I will discuss these with you on our last session.

Good work!

Thank you very much earnest!

We're looking forward to our last session.

Team @OxfordIHTM/hinata, in case you want to see how the report looks at the moment (we are still waiting for a couple of teams to send a pull request for their inputs) with your nice maps and inputs, here is the link to the report:

Well done!
