Hello,

In this case you should use KR file instead of PR file and no need to merge PR and IR. The stunting, wasting, underweight variables in the KR are hw70, hw71, hw73 and can be coded the same way I showed you for the PR file but without the hv103 condition. The KR file is the file for children under five that are the children of interviewed defacto women. So the characteristics of their mothers are in the file, for example her education v106 or her body mass index (bmi) v445. Please check the Guide to DHS Statistics on the description of women's bmi : https://www.dhsprogram.com/Data/Guide-to-DHS-Statistics/inde x.htm#t=Nutritional_Status.htm%23Percentage_of_women_bybc-2& amp;rhsearch=v444&rhtocid=_14_9_1

If you use the KR file the unit of analysis is the child not the women, which I believe is your research interest.

Best,
Shireen
