Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

This is a very interesting observation, but before trying to understand it, I first need to know how you got the estimates of the medians.

Did you use hv108 in the PR file? If so, did you have lower or upper cutoff ages? Tables 2.13.1-2 in the final report on the 2014 survey, for example, include ages 6+, with no upper age cutoff. Or did you use v133 in the IR file, which would apply to age 15-49 (for women) and mv133 in the MR file, which would apply to age 15-54 (for men)? Did you modify the upper age limit for men to match that of women?

I can suggest a strategy to understand this pattern, which I agree is unexpected, if you will clarify how you got the numbers.
