Following is another response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:


To get hw70-hw72, you could merge the BR files with the HW files for those surveys. The corresponding HW files for NFHS 1 and 2 are IAHW22FL.DTA and IAHW43FL.DTA. They can be downloaded once you are logged in to your account. Do you know how to do these merges?

Alternatively, it will be easier if you just use the earlier version of the HAZ score, which is given by hw5. In terms of identifying flagged values there should be very little difference, if any, from the WHO 2006 version of the HAZ, which is given by hw70. That is, where I put "hw70<600", just use "hw5<600". If you ever need to use them, hw71 is the updated version of hw8, and hw72 is the updated version of hw11.
