Using tfr2, if the survey is conducted among all women, you can compute general age-specific rates in this way:
by v130 v024, sort : tfr2
You could extend the time window to 5 years (or more) for the computation of rates to have a larger number of events
by v130 v024, sort : tfr2, len(5)
You can also take into account of clustering with the cluster option.
However, you should be careful because:
- sample sizes will be too small in some cases (and you will get very large confidence intervals). Even with the latest DHS (with a huge sample size), in some states you will run into problems of sample size for some religions. You should consider grouping them, or grouping some small states.
- if you work with surveys conducted among ever married women, you will need to use an all-women factor specific to religion and state. To my knowledge, this is not available in the datasets, so you would have to compute them (but then you would need information on religion in the household file, I do not know if this is available).

Hello,
If the survey was conducted amon ever-married women, you indeed need to use the all women factors. I think this is the case for all the surveys in Bangladesh, and most surveys in India, but I did not check.
The all women factors may not be available at the district level, so you will need to compute these all women factors for the household survey data. The method is explained the Guide to DHS Statistics ( https://dhsprogram.com/data/Guide-to-DHS-Statistics/index.cf m).

Hello,
You should use the endy option. It allows indicating the last calendar year used for the computation of the rates.
If you want to compute the TFR for the year 2011 only, use:
tfr2, endy(2011) len(1)
You can also compute it for a 3-year period (from 2010 to 2012) in this way.
tfr2, endy(2012) len(3)
Or on a 5-year period
tfr2, endy(2013) len(5)
These rates will all be centered on mid 2011. The results will not vary much across methods (around 2.3), except for the 45-49 age group.
