Hello
I am analyzing anaemia using KR files from the GDHS 2008, 2014, and 2022. The prevalence of "any anaemia" among 6-59 month-olds in rural areas (v025) differs from the GDHS report. Below is the STATA do.file syntax used:

* Set the survey design variables
*weighted

gen wt822=v005/1000000

*Preparing the dataset as a survey Dataset

svyset [pweight=wt822], strata(v023)psu(v021)




*****************RECODE VARIABLES**********************************

* dataset for only rural Ghana
tab v025
keep if v025==2
tab v025

*Outcome
*tab hw57



**outcome variables**


tab hw57
* adding all forms of anaemia together as one ALLanemia22
recode hw57(1 2 3=1 "anemia") (4 9=0 "not_anemic"), gen (ALLanemia822)

tab ALLanemia822


My results: 1258, 1061 and 1334 anaemic children(6-59 months) for the years 2008, 2014 and 2022, respectively


Where did I go wrong? Please advise me.
