As a follow-up to my question, it is important to preserve the validity of pweight when I run these subpopulation models.  If I am interested in running the model for the subpopulation of overweight youth in the sample, how do I specify that I want to run the model only for that subpopulation (but preserve the validity of the sampling weight)?

Thanks!
