We analyze the anthropometry for children in these surveys using the PR file, not the KR file. If you want to match results in the report they are based on the PR file.

If you still want to use the KR file, you need to merge the PR to the KR file. The IDs from the PR file are HV001 HV002 HVIDX, and from the KR file they are V001 V002 B16. Note that they will not all match as any child of the women who does not live in the household will be missing on B16. Similarly, there will be a number of children listed in the PR file who are not children of interviewed women so they will not appear in the KR file at all.
