Hi Elizabeth,

It appears that there is an error in the age in months panel of table 12.13 in the Egypt DHS 2008 report. This variable was incorrectly constructed for this table. An errata will be issued for this table. Your logic and results are correct.

A small note - you can shorten your code for creating age_interval to just:

gen age_interval=int((v008-b3)/12)
