To match the results in the NDHS report, you need to select the same cases as used by DHS. These are:
a) De facto children (children that stayed in the household the previous night)
b) Children with complete and in-range measurements on both height and weight and the z-scores calculated from them.

The following code can be added to your Stata program to select the correct cases:

* Children who stayed in the household the previous night and who have height and weight z-scores on all 3 measures
gen eligch = 0
replace eligch = 1 if (hv103==1 & hc70 < 9996 & hc71 < 9996 & hc72 < 9996)

* Tabulate only for the eligible children
tab shstat wasted [iweight=weight] if eligch==1, row
