Thanks dear Trevor,

Yeah, I realize hc1 being a biomarker variable makes it have fewer obs (between 2000-2500 for Uganda DHS 2006 & 2011 PR and KR merged) compared to v008-b3 (between 7000-7222) after controlling for those not alive (using b5). So what remains of (7000-7222) that i need to remove are children not staying in the household.
a) I wonder whether b9 (whether a child stays with her mother) is the right variable to use and control for a child being in the household.
b) do we have any children 5 years old and above in DHS data? would be useful in my analysis.
c) if I want age of children, below 5 years living in the household with their mothers is (v008-b3, controlling for b5, b9) enough to account for all?

Thanks
