Thanks for your response!
I have one additional question.

For the 2015-2016 and 2019-2021 data, men's weight and height needed for BMI calculation are only in the PR data (not MR data)
When tabulating prevalence, should I use sample weight in the household dataset (hv028) or men's weight in individual records (mv005)?

If I could use variable hv028 for sample weight, could I use it together with women's sample weight (v005) in a merged file for calculating total prevalence?

Thank you.
