I am trying to replicate Table 11.13.1 Nutritional status of women age 2049 using the code below that I extracted from the DHS GitHub repo

use "KEIR8AFL.dta", clear

cap label define yesno 0"No" 1"Yes"
gen wt=v005/1000000

*** Anemia indicators ***

gen nt_wm_any_anem=0 if v042==1 & v455==0

label var nt_wm_any_anem "Any anemia - women"

//Mild anemia
gen nt_wm_mild_anem=0 if v042==1 & v455==0
replace nt_wm_mild_anem=1 if v457==3

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

The following Stata lines will match table 11.13.1 exactly. I just include the results for the wealth quintiles and the total.

To get the match I had to express the ranges a little differently than in the table headings. Note that it is necessary to omit women who had a birth in the past two months or are pregnant from the BMI indicator.

For tabstat you need to use fweights. You can avoid the use of tabstat, but I think it's a nice command and it is under-used. It is used in the GitHub version.

Something I had never encountered before, and that I only figured out by trial and error, is that for "short", i.e. height less than 145 cm, to get a match you must drop the 5 shortest women in the sample. Apparently a lower plausible bound for height was enforced--but no upper bound. As I said, I have never seen this before and I don't know whether it is done for other tables on anthropometry in this survey or is done for other surveys.

use "...KEIR8BFL.DTA" , clear

gen ht=v438/10 if v438<9994
gen short=0 if ht<.
replace short=100 if ht<145

gen bmi=v445/100 if v445<9998
replace bmi=. if b19_01<2 | v213==1

foreach lv in normal totalthin mildlythin modsevthin overwtobese overwt obese {
gen bmi_`lv'=0 if bmi<.
}

replace bmi_normal     =100 if bmi>=18.5 & bmi<25
replace bmi_totalthin  =100 if bmi<18.5
replace bmi_mildlythin =100 if bmi>=17.0 & bmi<18.5 
replace bmi_modsevthin =100 if bmi<17.0
replace bmi_overwtobese=100 if bmi>=25.0 & bmi<.
replace bmi_overwt     =100 if bmi>=25.0 & bmi<30.0
replace bmi_obese      =100 if bmi>=30.0 & bmi<.

tabstat bmi* [fweight=v005] if v013>1, statistics(mean) by(v190)
tab v190 if v013>1 & bmi<.   [iweight=v005/1000000]

* to match the table for "short" we must drop the 6 shortest women!
sort ht

tabstat short [fweight=v005] if v013>1 & _n>6, statistics(mean) by(v190)
tab v190 if v013>1 & short<. & _n>6 [iweight=v005/1000000]
