Hi dear Statalist:

I have a question. My dataset has 6764 subjects, from them 4142 have any disease; I have around 124 variables, and 42 variables that are each disease as dummy, for example cancer (0= no, 1=yes), arthritis (0= no, 1=yes) . The diseases are not exclusive. I would like to have a count of frequency of diseases by person. Example:

1 disease: 500 persons
2 diseases: 475 persons
3 diseases: 234 persons

Is there any way to count of the 42 diseases variables that are within the 142 variables? And to count the freqcuency of number of diseases in the dummy variables?

Best regards,
