Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Kerry MacQuarrie:
It is most helpful to examine the variables in conjunction with reading the questionnaire. There are, in fact, three relevant sexual violence variables, as follows:
D108 (itself an aggregation of d105h, d105i, and d105k)--this is from questions 1305h-j, which asks only ever-married women in the domestic violence module about their experience with sexual violence perpetrated by the current or most recent husband/partner.
D125 (an aggregation of s1323 and s1324)--this if from questions 1323 and 1324 which is asked of all women in the domestic violence module about their experience with sexual violence perpetrated by someone other than a husband/partner (s1323 is the question for ever married women, s1324 is the same question for never married women)
D130b--this is from question 1315b which is asked of ever-married women in the domestic violence module about their experience with sexual violence perpetrated by a previous husband/partner.
Anyone with a positive response to any of these three variables has a response for d126, age at first forced sexual act. Conversely, there are no responses on d126 if there is no response to all three variables d108, d125, and d130b. This is why there are more responses for d126 than 'yes' responses for d125.
I would also check your numbers, as mine are slightly different (using file CDIR61FL.DTA and d005 as the weight). You may have restricted your sample in some way. For example, I get:
766 of 6800 answering yes to d125;
1,295 of 5,078 answering yes to d108;
183 of 770 answering yes to d130b;
and 1,716 numerical answers and 200 'don't know' answers (total 1,916) on d126.
I hope this is helpful.
