Hello, good people,

My my issue is that, am supposed to replicate the Malawi DHS values on wasting, stunting and underweight for my thesis but am getting different values in stata. for example my sample size for 2010 is 4904 while DHS Malawi used 4849 , and i cant note where the difference is coming from. as such i find, for example stunting to be at 44% not 47% but am also using the same WHO reference and weights, plus removing the flagged values.I also have trouble locating the data of exact date of birth, as am failing to correctly interpret the B3 CMC date. your prompt help will be well appreciated. Regards.I have also attached my do file, so that you help me figure out where i might have messed up.
