Hi,

I have used BDHS'14 KR dataset. I have estimated the percentage of stunted child under age 5.
I have gotten 36% stunted children.

In the report, it says that, 36% children under age 5 were stunted.

Now my question is, can I interpret this like,

"There are about 36% households, where children under age 5 are stunted."..??
If I can not, why not?

Thank you in advance.
