1) The issue with updating the dataset only applies to the India NFHS dataset.
2) V012 is the age of the respondent as reported by the respondent. hv105 is the age of the household member as reported by the household respondent. The household respondent is often a different person than the individual respondent, and may report a different age in hv105 than the respondent herself gave in hv105. If you crosstab hv105 and v012 you would see many differences in the reported age in some countries (in some countries they are quite consistent, but in countries where ages are not well known they can differ substantially). We treat the household and individual interviews as separate interviews and do not attempt to correct the age reported in these separate interviews. We would recommend using v012 rather than hv105 when disaggregating this data by age.
