Hi, thank you for the access to Indonesia DHS datasets.
I need stunting data but can not seem to find it in the data. Is there any way that I could get the stunting data from Indonesia DHS?
Thank you.

You can create the stunting variable using the height-for-age z-score variables. Any value less than 2 sd (-200 in the DHS) is stunted. Make sure to remove the very large values that actually mean "missing".
