I would like to state that I have followed the DHS syntax available through GitHub, but I did not find the associated syntax for the men and women biomarker indicators (For example, blood pressure and blood glucose and others). In this regard, may I ask your kind help and help me with the STATA syntax code that is used by the DHS to generate the tables on biomarker indicators.

Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

The GitHub site includes the coding of indicators in the Guide to DHS Statistics and the standard tabulation plan. The biomarkers you are referring to can have different variable names in different surveys and other variations, for example in the number of blood pressure readings and how they are combined. We do not have Stata programs for them.
