Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
In the IR file, the woman's weight is given by v437. Codes 9994-9996 are special codes and should be ignored for analysis (that is, women with those codes should be omitted from the analysis. The scale is tenths of a kilogram. For example, a value of 500 should be interpreted as 50 kg. The woman's height is given by v438. Again, codes 9994-9996 should be dropped. The units are tenths of a centimeter, i.e. millimeters. For example, a value of 1500 should be interpreted as 1500 mm or 150 cm or 1.5 meters.
