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

If you use the PR file (hc70-hc72) you will get all the children whose heights and weights were measured. If you use the KR file (hw70-hw72) you will get somewhat fewer children, those whose mothers were eligible respondents and were interviewed. I would recommend the PR file, BUT if you want to relate the Z scores and stunting, etc., to characteristics of the mother, and characteristics of the children that are reported by the mother, you have to use the KR file.
