Notes
In DHS VII women’s result of measurement is a combination of the measurements of the respondent’s weight and height. All respondents weighing less than 400 kilos and with a height less than 2.20 meters are recorded as ‘0’ (measured). When the weight and height could not be collected because the respondent was ‘not present’, ‘refused’ or because of ‘another’ reason this variable is set to 3, 4 and 6 respectively. When the response to either the weight or the height is missing this variable is set to ‘missing’ and in all other cases to‘8.
