Hi,

I am working on the coexisting forms of malnutrition in under-5 children in SSA. Using the KR file in the newer surveys DHS-V upward, I have successfully computed the indicators of undernutrition and their coexistence respectively. I used the variables hw71, hw71 and hw72 for my computation. However, these variables are not found in the same KR file in DHS-IV downward.

Kindly advise on what I should do. My unit of analysis remains the under-5 children.

Thanks in anticipation of your help.
