Hi Liz, thanks for your message. I understand the differences between the two types of data files.

My basic questions:

(1) If children in the KR file are subset of children in the PR file, why would there be more stunted children in the KR file for Guatemala DHS 2014?

(2) Even accounting for the subtle differences in data sets, why would stunting rates be so much higher (~20%) in the KR file?

My assumption about the subset comes from these 2 threads which, were previously answered by Trevor and Tom:
