Each household's wealth index is computed, even if no women or males in that household are selected to participate in the surveys. Find all the index data in the HR file. For the principle components analysis, all you need is to begin with the HR file and remove any subscripted variables that pertain to household members. The DHS website provides information on the factors used to build each survey. You can use that list as a starting point, removing any variables you see unnecessary.
