Hello Everyone, I have three variables: Waist circumference (WC), serum triglyceride (TG) level and gender. Waist circumference and serum triglyceride is numeric and gender (male and female) is categorical. From these three variables, I want to calculate the "Lipid Accumulation Product (LAP) Index". The equation to calculate LAP is different for male and females. I am giving both equations below.
LAP for male = (WC-65)*TG LAP for female = (WC-58)*TG My question is 'how can I calculate the LAP and create a single new column? Your cooperation will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
