I have a similar follow-up question to this one.

You said to use the hc 70 variable to calculate stunting. I could only find hc_1, hc_2, etc. Which data file is this from?

If I am doing a regression looking at the predictors of child stunting, and I want to include mother characteristics AND household characteristics AND child characteristics in my prediction model, why wouldn't I use hw70 from the children's recode file? Is there an advantage to using the hc_70 variable?

Thanks!
