Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:
I was able to get a match by merging with the PR file and then selecting the women for whom hv117=1 (for men you would select on hv118=1). These are the women (and men) who were eligible for the individual interviews, whether or not they were actually interviewed individually.
I tried this because the biomarkers are part of the household survey and the covariates in the table are part of the household survey. However, your approach--merging with the IR file (and MR file) was completely reasonable, and the differences are very small.
