Dear User,
It depends on the data you are analyzing. For household members the variable indicating gender is HV104.
B4 is the gender variable for children in the birth history.
Please refer to the DHS Standard Recode Manual https:// dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-DHSG4-DHS-Questionna ires-and-Manuals.cfm
There are many other resources for working with your data. Check out Using Data Set for Analysis https://dhsprogram.com/data/Using-Datasets-for-Analysis.cfm
Thank you!
