Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
Rather than revise the (incomplete) program you included in your posting, I have put together another program (attached below) specifically for table 5.10 in the Kenya 2022 report. It includes all columns and matches perfectly. However, I see that two of the three table entries with note "a" for the median did not really need note "a". The only age group for which a median cannot be calculated is 15-19.
The medians are the only tricky numbers in this table. That's because the median calculated by Stata (using summarize, detail and r(p50)) is given as an integer value of age (v012). Many statistics texts only give the median as a value that actually occurs in the data. DHS interpolates within that year of age. For example, 21.1 would be interpreted as one tenth of the way from the 21st birthday to the 22nd birthday.
