Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

The water and sanitation indicators are household-specific. They are among the hv2* variables in the HR file. You can merge them into the KR file by sorting and matching hv001 hv002 in the HR file with v001 v002 in the KR file. Then relate them to h11 (diarrhea in the past two weeks).

The KR file only contains children born in the past 5 years. You do not need to add any restrictions to get children born in the past 5 years.

If you want to see whether sanitation is related to diarrhea you need to include children who DID NOT have diarrhea, as well as children who DID. You cannot establish a relationship after selecting on the dependent variable.

I don't know what you mean by "standardization". If you are referring to the method of direct standardization, I don't see how it's relevant in this context.
