Hi,
Thank you very much for the coding.
But, as a beginner, one thing is bothering me, can't understand fully, that is-
I have applied your code and got the percentage 36.1% for stunting.
But, in the result it shows,

Number of obs = 7,167
Population size = 7,317.7967
Design df = 580

Now, what does these 3 mean??

Here, we can see the number of observation was 7167 though the population size was 7318..again df is 580
The whole thing seems to me quite puzzling.
Would you plz describe these 3 terms, what are they indicating?

Again, Thank you very much for your help.
