I'm wondering where I can find a clear definition of the ha5 and hb5 variables? These are height for age standard deviations, but it not specified in the data from what population the data is taking SD from. Looking at the Ethiopian data it seems that gender was not controlled for causing women's values to be generally lower then men's (about 1.8 SD lower on average.)

Thank you
Andy
