Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

You use the word "trend" but that word refers to changes over time. You are using a single survey, so you must be thinking of cross-sectional variation rather than trends. If you want to see whether there is a linear relationship between y and the categories of AgeGr, you can just drop the "i." in front of AgeGr. The significance of the slope coefficient could be what you want. If you want just a single number to see whether the dependent variable varies by AgeGr, in any way, then you run your model and look at the p-value given at the top of the output, typically just below the F value.
