BDHS2022_Sex and Age of respondents selected for biomarkers (blood pressure/blood glucose) [message #30592] Fri, 03 January 2025 02:40 Go to previous message

Dear DHS team,

I am looking for the variables used for the sex and age of respondents selected for biomarkers (blood pressure/blood glucose) in the BDHS 2022 PR dataset.

In the BDHS 2017-18 PR dataset:
- For the **sex of respondents** selected for biomarkers, the variables were `SH18`, `SH19`, and `SH20`.
- For the **age of respondents**, the variable was `SB303`.

However, in the BDHS 2022 PR dataset:
- These variables are not present. Instead, I found `HV104` (sex) and `HV105` (age) for household members.

Could you confirm:
1. If possible, please provide the codes for **"Table 14.1: Coverage of testing for blood pressure and fasting blood glucose measurement among women and men age 18 and older"** from the BDHS 2022 Final Report.
2. Alternatively, could you provide the **sex and age variable names** used in the creation of this table?
3. Whether the **PR dataset** is the correct dataset to use for biomarker analysis?

Thank you for your assistance!

Best regards,
Jitu
