I know we have to use the svy command to get the descriptives. I am studying children under 5 years of age of Pakistan for ARI. Now, my criteria for ARI differs from the one used in the PDHS report. I have used the criteria in the report and my results match that way. Anyway, my question is that when I run the svy: tab command or tab with weights command, I get different population sizes for different explanatory variables. The population size for children under 5 years of age is 11,040. So, I want to construct my descriptives table according to that sample but I cannot as the percentages than considers the population size for each explanatory variable respectively. How do I construct my table? Please help.

Bridgette, please help me out. I am in a hurry. This is my thesis.
