I am using the PR file to check stunting, wasting and underweight in children. I then use the commands below to replicate table 11.1. of the 2014 DHS.

keep if hc13==0
replace hc70=. if hc70>=9990
gen z=hc70/200
gen stunted=1 if z<-2
replace stunted =0 if z>-2 & hc70!=.
gen wght=hv005/1000000
bys hv025: tab stunt [iweight=wght]

However, I am not able to replicate the table results using the above commands. How do I get the correct figures?
Thank you.

Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:


Please try the following. I have not tested it, but I would expect it to work. The main change is to divide hc70 by 100 rather than 200. Also there is no need to check hc13.


replace hc70=. if hc70>=9990
gen z=hc70/100
gen stunted=0 if z<.
replace stunted=1 if z<-2
gen wght=hv005/1000000
by hv025: tab stunt [iweight=wght]
