Hello,

I have gone through the posts on nutrition indicators but I could not find the answer to my issue. I am using Nepal DHS 2001 PR file which I merged with the WHO height-weight file. My prevalence estimates just don't match with those in the Nepal DHS 2001 report. Here's the code I have used in Stata 13.1

*Declaring Survey data
gen wt=hv005/1000000
svyset hv001 [pweight=wt], strata(hv022) vce(linearized) singleunit(missing) || hv002

gen info=0
replace info=1 if hc33~=.

*Stunting
gen stunting=0 if hv103==1               
replace stunting=. if hc70>=9996 
replace stunting=1 if hc70<-200 & hv103==1 
*Check with DHS report
svy:tab stunting if info==1

*Underweight
gen underwt=0 if hv103==1              
replace underwt=. if hc71>=9996 
replace underwt=1 if hc71<-200 & hv103==1 
*Check with DHS report
svy:tab underwt if info==1

*Wasting
gen wasting=0 if hv103==1 
replace wasting=. if hc72>=9996 
replace wasting=1 if hc72<-200 & hv103==1
*Check with DHS report
svy:tab wasting if info==1

The weighted rates as well as frequencies do not match. Restricting categories of variable hc33 is not working. I cannot figure out how to rectify this. Any hints will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
