Thank you for the response. I have used the previous code posted and it worked. Thanks a ton for the previous STATA code. With that code, I could come to a conclusion that there was around 1 percent of women with disabilities in IR file. Here comes the next part of my study,

For each of the case in the dataset, I have a new variable which denotes if the case is having disability or not using 1 or 0.

Is there any way or STATA code using which from those who are not having disability, I will be able to pick up a sample (having equal number of cases as that of disabled) which I can match with the set of cases who are having disability?

Matching with respect to
Current age of respondent
District
Type of place of residence
Wealth Index
State


After matching I was looking for a case control type of study to test the hypothesis that,

Does utilization of healthcare services, contraception, etc, differ significantly between cases (disabled) and controls (not disabled)

Also after selection of such sample, how do I proceed with weights? I think I will have to adjust the weights for excluding such high number of cases. Please guide.
