Dear Forum experts

I am a new user of BDHS data and having confusions in figuring the meaning of repetation of the same variables for a certain number of times.

For Bangladesh (BDIR), in many cases same data appear sometimes for 20 and sometimes for 6 times for the same variables e.g. Anemia level, Agrees to referral, Height/Age standard deviation (screenshot attached).

My question is, as there are six (multiple) observations for the same variable, which one am I supposed to select for analysis.


I would remain especially grateful if anyone could help me clarify the matter.

Thanks in advance...
