Dear DHS team,
I am looking for the variables used for the sex and age of respondents selected for biomarkers (blood pressure/blood glucose) in the BDHS 2022 PR dataset.
In the BDHS 2017-18 PR dataset:
- For the **sex of respondents** selected for biomarkers, the variables were `SH18`, `SH19`, and `SH20`.
- For the **age of respondents**, the variable was `SB303`.
However, in the BDHS 2022 PR dataset:
- These variables are not present. Instead, I found `HV104` (sex) and `HV105` (age) for household members.
Could you confirm:
1. If possible, please provide the codes for **"Table 14.1: Coverage of testing for blood pressure and fasting blood glucose measurement among women and men age 18 and older"** from the BDHS 2022 Final Report.
2. Alternatively, could you provide the **sex and age variable names** used in the creation of this table?
3. Whether the **PR dataset** is the correct dataset to use for biomarker analysis?
Thank you for your assistance!
Best regards,
Jitu

Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
The standard variables in all PR files are hv104 for sex and hv105 for age. In the BD 2017-18 survey, sh18-sh20 are NOT sex, they are 0/1 variables for whether cases were selected for subsampling.
In the BD 2022 PR file, the selection variable is shbpbg. The following lines, for example, will give the number of men and women, by urban/rural residence, selected for blood pressure and blood glucose. These are the denominator frequencies in table 14.1.
use "...BDPR81FL.DTA" , clear
keep if hv105>=18 & shbpbg==1
tab hv025 hv104 [iweight=hv005/1000000]
Yes, the PR file is the one to use for table 14.1. Hope this answers your questions.
