st: Adjusted Proportions

[loprinzp@onid.orst.edu]

Dear All:

Any help you can provide on the following would be sincerely  
appreciated.  I am using complex survey data and, fortunately, have  
had luck obtaining adjusted means for age for each level of a frailty  
variable (i.e., 1 = frail, 2 = pre-frail, and 3 = not frail) using the  
following commands:

svy: regress age sex race smoker2 school2 income2 bmicat frailtycat
adjust sex race smoker2 school2 income2 bmicat, by(frailtycat) se ci

Then to get p-values I ran the following command:
xi:svy: regress age i.frailycat sex race smoker2 school2 income2 bmicat
testparm _Ifr*

Now for my question.  I am having difficulty obtaining adjusted  
proportions for categorical variables, specifically for different BMI  
categories (1 = underweight, 2 = normal weight, 3 = overweight, and 4  
= obese) across the different frailty groups.

Using the following glm command I was able to get the mean BMI  
category value for each level of the frailty variable.

xi:svy: glm bmicat i.frailtycat sex race smoker2 school2 income2
adjust sex race smoker2 school2 income2, by(frailtycat) se ci

While adjusting for various covariates, however, I am trying to see  
how many people are in different BMI categories (1 = underweight, 2 =  
normal weight, 3 = overweight, and 4 = obese) across three different  
frailty groups (1 = frail individuals, 2 = approaching frailness, and  
3 = not frail).

Any help you can provide on obtaining adjusted proportions for this  
situation would greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Kind Regards,

Paul
