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

HA40 is BMI for women age 15-49 in the PR file. v445 is BMI for the same women in the IR file. They have to match. Perhaps you did a merge of the IR and PR files and the merge was not successful? They would not normally appear in the same file. In any case, in all surveys they are the same variable.

All of the "ha" variables refer to women in the household files. All of the "v" variables refer to women in the IR files. The v variables in the IR file also appear as v variables in the BR and KR files.
