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

There have been other postings on this. The relevant variables are hw70-hw72 in the PR file (the same as hc70-hc72 in the KR file). These are based on the WHO Child Growth Standards. hw5, hw8, and hw11 use an earlier CDC standard and in my opinion should no longer be included in the standard recode file. They are only useful if you want to construct continuous longterm trajectories that go back before the WHO standards were developed, almost 20 years ago ( https://www.who.int/tools/child-growth-standards/who-multice ntre-growth-reference-study).
