fair, but people below the age of 15 are so heavily influenced by their families that to sample them is to essentially sample the parents twice. Given that, according to the source cited in the image, “NFHS-5 was designed to provide information on sexual behaviour;” sampling people below 15 or above 49 could lead to skewed results due to a tendency toward non-participation.
What’s really interesting about the survey is that it classifies fish as not being meat. It differentiates between houses that eat fish, houses that eat chicken or meat (guessing “meat” is beef, lamb, goat and pork in this context though of course that’s not exhaustive) or houses that eat all three.
I was mostly referring to leaving out the 50 and above population, rather than the 15 and below population. That seems like leaving out a good chunk of adults to me, but I’m no expert.
Does the bit about non-participation means adults over 50 were less likely to respond to the survey?
By reading the starting bits, the meat comsumtion map is just to trigger online audience, like me. It seems like this survery was to assess health, nutrition, tobacco consumption, etc of younger ish population. To help making national level decisions for healthcare. Maybe the rationale is that older populatuon wouldnt benifit much from a policy coming in next 5 years.
