children ages 5-17
https://userforum.dhsprogram.com/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=11861&th=5911#msg_11861
Does anyone know where I can find a list of all DHS countries (and years) that have anthropometric and anemia data for children ages 5-17? I tried the STATCompiler but I only see children 0-4. Maybe these elements are not measured for children ages 5-17? I downloaded a few countries for recent years and the fields are available but the data are missing.
I appreciate any help I can get!

I am too looking for data for children ages 5-17. I only need weight, sex, and age. Did DHS confirm that these are not surveyed for this age group?
Thanks for your help!

The Colombia DHS 2005 Final Report https:// dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-FR172-DHS-Final-Repo rts.cfm has anthropometric data indicated in Table 11.12.1 5-9 years of age P278, and Table 11.13.1 10-17 years of age P280.]]>Liz-DHS2017-11-10T15:28:42-00:00Re: children ages 5-17

The report shows summary anthropometrics, so it is likely you have individual measurements for children >5 years in Colombia in your DHS file as you said. Unfortunately, looking at the summary report for India DHS 2005, I don't see any summary anthropometrics for children between 5-15 years which suggests that they were not taken in this population. ]]>KendraK2017-11-10T16:03:45-00:00Re: children ages 5-17
