Hello. I am calculating the BMI for men for NFHS-3 - NFHS -5.
For weight and height for BMI calculation, I have used the MR data set for NFHS-3 and PR data set for NFHS-4 / NFHS-5.
Men's sample size was estimated by total number of values for hb1 (men's age), and then I checked how many values were missing for hb2 (weight) and hb3(height).

The problem is that when I use PR data set, about 10~20% of estimations seem to be missing, which is quite big compared to the 1~5% missing values for women.
Why would there be so many missing values?
Have I done something wrong when using the PR dataset?

Thank you so much for your help.
