After I dropped the prgnant women and those with less than 2 month old birth, i categorised the BMI variable:

gen bmic=1 if bmi<18.5
replace bmic=2 if bmi>=18.5 & bmi<25
replace bmic=3 if bmi>=25 & bmi<30
replace bmic=4 if bmi>=30 & bmi<60
label define bmic 1"Underweight" 2"Normal" 3"Overweight" 4"Obese"
label values bmic bmic

When I ran the frequency of the categorized BMI, I am getting figures that are different from what is stated on the report. What did I not do right?

tab bmic [iw=wt]

bmic | Freq. Percent Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
Underweight | 1,670.6812 11.35 11.35
Normal | 8,912.747 60.54 71.89
Overweight | 2,703.0016 18.36 90.25
Obese | 1,436.16 9.75 100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
Total | 14,722.59 100.00
