Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

I believe that table 3.1 was constructed from the IR and MR files without any merge with the PR file. When using the IR file, the weight is v005. When using the MR file, the weight is mv005. The age range for men is 15-54, so most of the results for men (other than the last two rows of table 3.1) must be restricted to mv012<=49. Please check whether this is correct, that is, whether you can match table 3.1 using just the IR and MR files, and let me know.
