Hello,
In order to consolidate the BP and other data into a single variable for both men and women you could do something like:

gen systolic=.
gen diastolic=.
replace systolic=w_systolic if hv104==2
replace systolic=m_systolic if hv104==1
replace diastolic=w_diastolic if hv104==2
replace diastolic=m_diastolic if hv104==1

All the variables of age, sex, region, education, wealth, and BMI are available in the PR dataset for the 2022 Bangladesh DHS, as well as for the 2017-18 DHS, with the same variable names, so you should be able to compare these easily.

Best,
Sara
