Dear Miriam,

many thanks for your answer! That was really helpful. I didn't know the IPUMS-DHS page yet.
I have now found the data for men's height and weight. Unfortunately not many datasets include that information, but I can live with that.

However, one more question remains open:

There seems to be no height and weight information at all for individuals that are between 6 and 14 years old: It seems that no height and weight information is collected for this age group, because this age group is neither included in the KR (up to 5 years), nor the IR or MR (both >15 years) definitions. I have checked all three variables (hc3 for children's height, ha3 for woman's height and hb3 for man's height) but none includes datapoints for children/adolescents between 6 and 14 years.

Can you confirm this? Or does this data exist and I just haven't been able to find them?

Many thanks!

All the best

Timo
