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

It is a challenge to make comparisons when classifications of any kind have changed between surveys. For diet, it's not just that something like yogurt can move from one category to another. Sometimes a specific type of food is listed in one survey and not in another. You can add a footnote, saying that some small (we hope!) changes are due to changes in the classification.

DHS surveys have been conducted for almost 40 years, and there have been MANY changes in the questions and categories. On top of that, many countries have revised their geographic areas substantially. As I said, a challenge!
