still facing problem in working with the data. I am dealing with the same BR file, and looking at the variable b8 (age of child in years), the range is between 0-40 years. I also tried to recheck by creating the age variable on my own. Seeking help from the recode file, I created the variable of "age of the child in months" by using the following commands:
gen age2= (v008a-b18)/30.4375
gen age3 = round(age2)

the problem remains intact. How is children aged more than 60 (when measured in months).
Attaching the screenshot for your reference


PS: I downloaded the dataset from DHS website only
