Thank you Hamid.
I am reading documents.

As you mentioned i need to compute the measures for wasting, stunting etc.May be by following commands etc.

gen stunted = .
replace stunted = 0 if hW70 < 9990
* set to 1 (Stunted) if it is less than -2 SD (data are stored with two implied decimal places, and thus appear as -200)
replace stunted = 1 if hW70 < -200
* tabulate stunting for children under age 60 months who are usual residents households.
tab stunted if hW1 < 60 & h135==1 & hw70 < 9990 [iw=hv005/1000000]

can you please clarify do i need to consider de facto households which are not available in KR file.
If i replicate stunting %age like report, i am using above commands and V103 (de facto ) members and i got the same %ages with PR file, but what about children file(KR)?
Thank you
