Hello,

We have standard code for women's nutritional status in our code share library hosted on our Github site: https://github.com/DHSProgram/DHS-Indicators-Stata
Specially you can find the code in Chapter 11. Please read the readme file and main file for each chapter before using any code.

I was able to match the Table 11.12 using this code. For instance, for obesity I use the following code found in our code library in the NT_WM_NUT.do file: https://github.com/DHSProgram/DHS-Indicators-Stata/blob/mast er/Chap11_NT/NT_WM_NUT.do

*Stata code
gen wt=v005/1000000
gen age=b19_01
//Obese
gen nt_wm_obese= inrange(v445,3000,6000) if inrange(v445,1200,6000)
replace nt_wm_obese=. if (v213==1 | age<2)
label var nt_wm_obese "Obese BMI - women"
tab nt_wm_obese [iw=wt]
*****

This gives me 9.9% and 12,728 women as reported in the table.

Best,
