Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

Unfortunately, to match this table you have to use "all-women factors", as described in the footnote to the table. The choice of factor will depend on the panel. To get the 4782, you can use this line "tab v013 [iweight=(v005/1000000)*(awfactt/100)]". The weighted frequency for age 15-19 rounds to 4782. To get the frequencies for single years of age, use "tab v012 if v013==1 [iweight=(v005/1000000)*(awfactt/100)]". For wealth quintiles, use "tab v190 if v013==1 [iweight=(v005/1000000)*(awfactw/100)]". Note that for wealth, you use awfactw (w for wealth) rather than awfactt (t for total). The other panels require other versions of awfact (enter "describe awfact*").

You can get more information about all-women factors from the Guide to DHS Statistics. They are only required for surveys that only include ever-married women in the women's interview. They are a huge nuisance.
