Hello

I am doing a research on maternal empowerment and the effect on underfive child nutrition in Malawi, I am using KR dataset.
With that in mind, I am trying to do some inferential and descriptive statistics to identify significant variables to use in the final model but for some variables, the number of observations do not balance.

For instance, when I do

tab stunting educ, the n in educ is more or less than the n in stunting. Please assist how I can balance the two
