Hello Members,

I am trying to calculate Under five mortality and Infant Mortality for India (NHFS-4 data).

I have used KR file and used the following codes in STATA

gen hpage= (v008-b3)/12
gen timeyears=.
replace timeyears=hpage
replace timeyears=b7/12 if b5==0
gen dead= (b5==0)
ltable timeyears dead if hpage<=5, int(.5)

the underfive mortality rate calculated for India using this method is 53.1 whereas the value in NFHS-4 report is 49.7 (http://rchiips.org/NFHS/NFHS-4Reports/India.pdf).

Kindly tell me where am i going wrong.
Any help in this regard would be appreciated.

Thanks
