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

I think you may be making this more complicated than necessary. This part of table 10.1 in the NFHS report is constructed directly from the KR file, with children as units. The following lines will give you, for example, the 45.8% in the image you attached. This is the percentage of children who are stunted, given that the mother is underweight. This could be modified to give more numbers, but for simplicity I just match that number. Can you try this approach?

gen stunted=0
replace stunted=100 if hw70<-200
replace stunted=. if hw70<-600 | hw70>600

gen mo_underwt=0
replace mo_underwt=1 if v445<1850
replace mo_underwt=0 if v445>=99988

summarize stunted if mo_underwt==1 [iweight=v005/1000000]
