Following is a response from Senior DHS Staff member, Tom Pullum:
Unfortunately, we cannot provide much assistance with this topic. I recommend that you first identify the specific appendix tables in the Zimbabwe final report that were used in MR27. The Kenya 2022 survey was a DHS-8 survey and followed a slightly different tabulation plan, but I hope you can find the appendix tables in the Kenya report that correspond with the tables in the Zimbabwe report. I haven't checked, but the table titles should be very similar even if the table numbers have changed.
Ideally, DHS would routinely calculate the level weights when each survey is completed, and make them available in a small cluster-level file. We have recommended this, but without success. If other users have calculated the level-weights for other surveys, perhaps they could let us know and share them on the forum?

Hope you can wait a little longer (a month?) and then check back, if nothing has changed. We have been waiting for approval from Kenya before issuing those changes. It is entirely possible that you are correct.

Hello!
When calculating BMI in the PR vs. IR file for NFHS-5, the PR file has more observations for women aged 15-49 years old.
In the PR file, I am using ha variables to correspond to the biomarker questionnaire -- see the code below:
keep if inrange(ha1,15,49)
keep if inrange(ha40,1200,6000)
Observations with valid BMI Values for 15-49 year old women in PR file: 709,252
In IR file, I am using v445:
keep if inrange(v445,1200,6000)
Observations with valid BMI Values for 15-49 year old women in IR file: 699,362
Can someone at DHS let me know why this difference exists?
What is official guidance? Stay to biomarker in PR? But why a difference of ~10,000?
