Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

The heights and weights of children are measured as part of the household interview and are included in the household (PR) file. That file also includes all the geographic information. There is no need to use the KR file. Moreover, the KR file omits children in the household whose mother is not also in the household. If you use the PR file you will get a more representative sample of all children in Malawi.
