I need to generate the anemia prevalences by quintile and residence (urban/rural) for adolescents. I can't identify the variables for the day, month, and year of birth of the respondents aged 11-19 years? Also, when I use the variable hv005 as sample weight I get strange results. Is there a different sample weight I should use for these estimates? I also have so few observations when I define the binary anemia variable that I wonder if I am using the right file. Is the household member file I should use or another?
Thank you for your help.

Here is a response from one of our Senior Data Processing Specialists, Lady Ortiz, that should answer your questions.
You did not specify which country are you working on, but anemia testing is usually done for children 6-59 months of age and/or women 15-49 and/or men 15-49 years old. Variable HA1 is the woman's age in years, and HC1 is the child's age in months.
If you want to use the women's data "IR", the variables V453/V456/V457 have the anemia test results, and V012 has the woman's age in years.
The variable HV005 "sample weight" has 6 implicit decimals so you should divide it by a million (1,000,000) before using it.
I hope this helps,
