Dear DHS

Hope you are well.
I am having difficult time replicating nt_mdd, nt_mmf, nt_mad estimated in the https://dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-FR389-DHS-Fi nal-Reports.cfm
This is Mozambique: Standard DHS, 2022-23, KR Dataset.
More specifically, table 11.8 last three columns to the left of final column (Page 269).
Picture is uploaded. The denominator seems right.

Can you confirm whether DHS is able to replicate those values? Mine is slightly off.

If so, I must something wrong. Here are the steps I took.
After executing https://github.com/DHSProgram/DHS-Indicators-Stata/blob/mast er/Chap11_NT/DHS8/!NTmain.do,
I ran https://github.com/DHSProgram/DHS-Indicators-Stata/blob/mast er/Chap11_NT/DHS8/NT_IYCF.do.
The only change I made was to add replace nt_frtveg=1 if food1==1 in line 264 to add country specific food to the above do file.
This is based on line 213 which is based on variable v414wa. v414wa is amaranth leaves, cacana leaves, spinach, broccoli or moringa leaves
Even without this addition/change, nt_mdd, nt_mmf, nt_mad still does not match. I have attached the outputs.

Can you kindly advise?
Thanks so much.

Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
Sometimes there are very minor survey-specific modifications to the nutrition tables that can be hard to locate. I don't share this often, but here is the CSPro program for table 11.8 in the MZ 2022-23 survey: (see atachment). It is a text file that can be read with Notepad. I hope you can figure out the syntax and the variable names, just sufficiently to uncover whatever may be different from what you have been doing. Please let us know if you are able to do this or if you have other questions.
