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

So far as DHS is concerned, you could use either standard, or both. If you want to make global comparisons, it would seem appropriate to use the WHO standard, but if you are only making comparisons among Asian countries, or within Bangladesh, you could use the Asian standard. This is not a technical question for DHS staff to answer and I hope other users will offer suggestions.
