  • adding summary weight in metabolic score

    Hi,
    I am trying to generate a metabolic syndrome score for the children aged 11 to 12 years using PCA. I run the PCA with the standardised z-score of all five metabolic components But I confused on one statement mentioned in the article that I am following "Our PCA identified
    2 principal components that were summed, with weights determined by the relative amount of variance, explained to generate a total MetSrisk score".
    I am also missing Stata command for final analysis " we internally standardise the final met score to get mean 0 and SD 1 so that regression coefficient can be explained by SMD


    I USED THE FOLLOWING COMMAND. It will be highly ap[appreciated if you can help me out with missing command lines. I am badly stuck at this point.

    global xlist Z2TotChol Z2Glucose Z2HDL Z2TG fcbmizc
    global ncomp 2

    ** PCA
    pca $xlist
    screeplot, yline (1)

    ** PCA Component
    pca $xlist, comp($ncomp)
    pca $xlist, comp($ncomp) blanks(0.3)

    rotate, varimax
    rotate, varimax blanks(0.3)

    rotate, promax
    rotate, promax blanks(0.3)

    estat loadings
    estat residuals, fitted
    estat loadings, cnorm(eigen)

    predict Pc1 Pc2, score
    gen PCAScore=Pc1 + Pc2


    Thanks in advance

    Couldn't you write the authors and ask them to share their code?

        Indeed. Try contacting the editor or publisher of the journal where the paper appeared. Maybe the authors had to deposit the datasets and code as a condition of publication.

            Yes, I one author confirmed me that they used proportion of each PCs as weight
