Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

This puzzled me too, until I went to the text of Chapter 13 and saw that the chapter applies only to women in households that were selected for the state module. The variable that identifies such households is ssmod. It takes the value 1 for 108,785 women, only about 15% of the full sample. If you restrict to women who have ssmod=1 you should get a match.
