Dear Trevor,
I have used PR file for DHS Niger 2012 . I found for Global acute malnutrition 18,8% against 18.0% reported but N=5701 match with the reported
Weight / age, I found (prevalence = 38% vs 36% reported and observations mismatch N= 5911). height/age (N= 5743 and prevalence =42.9% Vs 44% reported).
I have recalculate Zscore with using syntaxe enclosed. could you check why could I not have the same result as reported.


could you mind to give your syntaxe for SPSS Users "recode hc70 (min/-201 = 1 "Stunted") (-200/9990 = 0 "Not stunted") (else=.), gen(stunting)
tab stunting [iw=hv005/1000000] if hc70 < 9990 & hv103==1"

Thank in advance


Hamidine Hassane
