		Hi, 
In order to find the stunting rate among children under age 5 using BDHS 14 data, I have used the following Stata command. 
I used this command both in KR & PR dataset. But the total observation number is not exactly matching with the BDHS-14 report. 
	                      
Prevalence of Stunting in 2014 (Children under age 5)	 
  
My estimation,  
Using KR file,   36.24 % (N = 6965)                                   
Using PR file,   36.09 % (N = 7256)	 
                                      	                                         
From BDHS'14 Report 
36.1 % (N = 7318) 
 
 Here, my question is, how can I obtain the same prevalence rate and same observation for calculating child stunting rate? 
Where is my mistakes, that I've made in my Stata command? 
I have to get the exact observations and the exact stunting rate. 
 
Stata command for stunting (just for the KR file) 
 
*SVY command 
gen strata=v023 
gen psu=v021 
gen sampwt=v005/1000000 
svyset psu [pw=sampwt], strata (strata) 
 
//child stunting calculation 
codebook hw70 
tab hw70 if hw70>9990,m 
tab hw70 if hw70>9990, m nolabel 
gen HAZ=hw70 
replace HAZ=. if HAZ>=9996 
***** 
gen stunted=. 
replace stunted=0 if HAZ~=. 
replace stunted=1 if HAZ<-200 
 
svy: tab stunted 
 
Best regards, 
Anik
