Hope,

I was using the KR file and the same variable but in that file it is called hw70, because I needed those other variables related to children. It is odd that the number of children with height-for-age data differs in the children's recode (KR file) and the personal recode (PR file).

Looking at the data in the PR file, I can see that if you define moderate stunting (based on hc70/100) as <=-2 standard deviations then you should get that result that 37.93% of children are moderately stunted. Granted, these tables are not using weights (I presume), so the percentage values could differ based on whether or not you are using weights.
