You'd better estimate a single model for both populations 
together and study the differences using interaction terms. 
You would need to be a bit careful with specifying the 
random effects, but that is just a matter of smartly 
coding the variables, as is discussed on pages 9 --18 of 
this presentation by Bobby Gutierrez at the 2007 Nordic 
Stata Users' meeting:
