Hello!

In NFHS-1 for India, height data was not collected for four states (Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu).

However, weight data for children were collected in these surveys are therefore Underweight values are present in the DHS Final Report for NFHS-1. However, when looking at the HW files for NFHS-1, there seems to be no data for these states because of "height implausible" even though for weight-for-age z-score, height missing should not impact that calculation.

Thanks
