I am truly grateful for that. I thought with the child recode file, I would not be able to access as much data points as with the household recode file. That is why I resorted to the Household file. But I think that is not the case. Could you kindly confirm if indeed using the household file allows for more data points than using the child file?

Secondly, I wish to replicate the procedure used in arriving at the height-for-age Z score (HAZ). I tried the WHO Anthro Software and then with Stata without success. Are you able to help with some suggestions? I need to compute HAZ from a dataset for comparative analysis.

Thank you.
