After following the definition given on your website, I am not able to get the same estimate for Minimum Acceptable Diet (MAD) as it is given in NFHS-5 report. Request you to please share Stata Syntax codes for calculating Minimum Acceptable Diet (MAD) using NFHS-5, so that my estimates match to the MAD estimates given in NFHS-5 report.

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

You are probably referring to table 10.10 in the final report on this survey. The key overall numbers are in the "total" row, specifically n=62,253 and the percentage 11.0%. If you do not get those numbers, what numbers do you get?

Yes i am talking about table 10.10. MAD is given 11% in the report. My number of observation is 60849. I have done multiple attempts to calculate it over last one month. And still getting 13.5%. I am sure there is issue in including some variables.
It will be really helpful if you can share stata syntax for it.
Thanks

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

For this survey, we almost never get an exact match with the report. The first thing would be to try to match the n. The table has 62,253 and you get 60,849. The following Stata code gives 62,488, which is closer. Can you try again with this denominator? Note that the child has to be age 6-23 months, living with the mother, the youngest such child, and has to have a valid code for m5.

use "...IAKR7DFL.DTA", clear

* age 6-23 months, alive, living with mother; youngest such child
sort v024 v001 v002 v003 bidx
keep if b19>=6 & b19<=23 & b5==1 & b9==0
sort caseid bidx
egen sequence=seq(), by(caseid) 
tab sequence
keep if sequence==1 & m5<=94
tab b19 [iweight=v005/1000000]
