Hey there,

I'm also having a problem with the child height and weight variables for Turkey DHS 2008. I'm using the hw70 variable in my research project. Before 2013, this variable is missing from the datasets. For the years 1993-2003, I'm able to retrieve this variable from the "Height and Weight Scores - WHO Child Growth Standards" supplementary dataset. But for 2008, this supplementary dataset is not available and the variable also doesn't exist in the BR dataset. When I calculate this measure using the zscore06 command in Stata, I'm not able to replicate the numbers from other years, and therefore the 2008 values I created are also questionable. I'd appreciate your help on this.

Thanks,
Selen
