Dear Shireen,
Thanks once again.

I just looked at hw70_1, and hw72_1 in the combined file. but these variables were collected based on the new WHO growth standard thus are representative of 2011 and 2016. So I guess, to get the new measure for the earlier version THAT IS FOR DHS 2000 and 2005, I have to combine ETHW41DT with ETIR41DT and ETHW41DT with ETIR51DT before I pool all survey is that the correct way?

But the document provided in the height/weight measure suggests a merge with PR first then to IR since The Height and Weight data were collected for children at the household level instead of to the interviewed women.

I took note of your suggested code. I am asking if possible to merge NEW WHO height/weight measure with IR directly or if there is any other way to get the new height/weight measure for the earlier dhs version in IR files.

Much thanks for your kind cooperation.
Kind regards
