Dear users and DHS experts,
I am currently a Ph.D. student in Global Health and Health Security at Taipei Medical University, Taiwan. I am working on the determinants of children under 5 anthropometric failure in Haiti (my country). As my unit of analysis is children under 5, I want to use the KR file. If I want to include maternal BMI in my analysis, I would like to ask how I should use the variable V445. In the Guide to DHS Statistics DHS-7, they set this condition (Number of women aged 15 to 49, excluding women who are pregnant or who gave birth in the 2 months preceding the date of the interview (v213 ≠ 1 and (v208 = 0 or b19_01 >= 2)), with a valid BMI (v445 in 1200:6000)) when using the IR file. what about the KR file, Should I set the same condition when dealing with v445?
Your feedback will mean a lot to me.
Thank you
Benn
