I already responded via other routes, but here is a summarized response for the forum:
1) Anthropometry analyses are based on the PR file, not the KR file.
1a. Yes - use the PR file to find all de facto children.
1b. For some characteristics the data are in the PR file, and for others the data are linked from the IR or KR file. We may miss information on mother's nutritional status, however, as those data are collected at the household level we may capture them for mother's living in the household, even if we didn't interview the mother. Similarly if the mother lived in the household but was not interviewed we may have the educational status of the mother. We will also have the wealth index as that is for the household. For the background characteristics where we cannot get the information when the mother is not interviewed, these cases are excluded from the denominator for that characteristic.
2 - That sounds correct.
