This can be interpreted in two ways:
1) You want to look at whether people who were malnurished in 2009 are
still malnourished in 2011. This is a simple Markov model. You just
estimate two simple logit models with malnourishment status in 2011 as
the dependent variable, one for those observations that were
malnoursished in 2009 and one for those that were not malnourished in
2009. To estimate this model you obviously need to have asked the same
persons in both years.

2) You want to look of the proportions persistet. Now you don't need
to have asked the same persons in both years. The solution is again
the counterfactual I refered to earlier.
