Thank you for the reply on blood pressure.

Also had another question: we were looking for height and weight (to calculate BMI) for men. Is this available in the MR file? We could identify corresponding variable names. We did find height and weight in the HR files but these have more than one measurement?

Thank you.

Following is a response from Mianmian Yu, Data Processing Specialist:

Men's height and weight were measured during the household interview. Their data can be found in the HR file rather in than the MR file.
