Description
Hi,
I am working on the Nurse Health Assessment database (nurse and blood) combined to the full main interview. I only have included participants from wave 2.
I would like to analyze biomarkers and I need to adjust for the time of day the blood was taken.
I searched for such variable and I think the most appropriate variable is b_strtnurhh. The point is I obtained some people who have started the interview at 1 AM. Among 9,884 individuals, there are 73 in this case.
Here, there is STATA results:
table(b_strtnurhh, useNA="always")
1 2 3 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 NA
73 1 1 2 1 3 47 566 1360 1076 583 610 837 725 750 792 1134 1037 258 27 1 0
Should I identify these cases as missing values or is it a mistake and I can correct them by 1 PM ?
Thank you for helping me.
Gaelle
