I have a slight problem. I am trying to create an age variable for my
dataset. The problem I am having is that some patients were born in
1920s or 1930s and therefore when I create an age variable, it is
negative in some cases. Is there a way for me to convert these
negative values to positive values so that I don't have a negative age
value (when I divide by 365) for patients? Thanks :)
