A response from senior data processing specialist Mr. Albert Themme:
Quote:

The denominator for Table 10.1 "Nutritional status of children" is restricted to de facto children ( HV103 = 1) and to HC70 not missing and smaller than 9990.

For these children "stunting" is then defined as HC70 < -300 (Height-for-age below -3 SD) or HC70 < -200 (Height-for-age below -2 SD).

The variable indicating caste/tribe = S118

Hope this is useful.
