Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum and Lindsay Mallick, a researcher on the DHS analysis team.
We apologize for the delay in this reply to your forum posting of December 11. Because of the specialized topic, and staff travel, we are not able to give a complete answer.
1) Only one in every third household was selected to participate in the biomarkers questionnaire. All men and women age 35 and older in the households were selected to participate in the biomarkers portion of the survey. This included older women and men who were not interviewed in the women's or men's individual questionnaire.
2) Therefore, you should not use the IR or the MR file. Instead, you should use the PR file to answer your questions related to blood glucose measurement.
3) The variables sh230 through sh284 contain the information you will need to match these tables. These include, age, sex, consent to testing, and results of the tests. If you tabulate variable sh231 (unweighted), you will be able to match the denominators in table 15.1.
Please try to work from this advice. If you still have difficulties, please feel free to post again, preferably with as specific a question as possible.
