ta hv140 [aw=hv005/1000000] if hv102 == 1

but the results are different, Any help will be appreciated.

Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

The Stata line to match the indicator in table 2.10 is this: "tab hv140 [iweight=hv005/1000000] if hv102 == 1 & hv105<5,m" . There are two differences from what you were using. First, you should use iweight rather than aweight. I NEVER use aweights in Stata, except for some means with EMW surveys and aw factors. Second, you need to add ", m". I would not have expected any NA cases, but there ARE some (probably an incorrect use of the NA code). You then get the following distribution, which is the basis of the columns in table 2.10.
