Hello, I am trying to reproduce the tables for Malawi DHS 2024.
The result in "Tables_anemia_ch.xls" generated using the DHS Github code (DHS8 version) does not align with the result in Table 11.12 Prevalence of anaemia in children.
In the Malawi 2024 report (p.205), it is indicated that the report uses the new cutoffs defined in the 2024 WHO guideline.
However, the code for DHS 8 "NT_CH_NUT.do" doesn't seem to align with the new cutoffs (please see below). I'm wondering whether this is the reason why the table doesn't align with the report.
Do you have the updated do-file for the recent changes?
