Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
These are not "missing" cases, they are "not applicable" (NA) cases. If you look at the household questionnaire in appendix E, pages 616-617, you will see that the disability module was only applied in a subsample of households, and never to children under 5. Individuals who were not in the subsampled households, or were age <5, were given an NA code (a dot in Stata). The cases that are not NA are a representative sample of the population.
