Thanks very much for this response. Unfortunately this code is still not giving me the same results as what is shown in the table in the final report.

I am using the PR file (PEPR6IFL) from 2012 and referencing the Peru DHS Final Report from 2012 (Publication ID: FR284).

When I use the code as provided, I get the following results:

Severe stunting: 4.11% (N=9662)
Stunting: 20.59% (N=9662)

The report has the following results in the table (p.275 of the report):

Severe stunting: 3.4% (N=9168)
Stunting: 18.1% (N=9168)

Any assistance in reconciling this difference would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
