*I choose Household Member Recode dataset because, the findings are compatible with the DHS report (i think this is the recommended one for child nutrition): the prevalence was shown different when i tried child recode..
I tried the child recode and it was possible to perform the task on that.......

This is the code for the tabulation i used..
*
generate stunting
generate stunting=.
replace stunting =1 if hc70>=-600 & hc70<-200
replace stunting =0 if hc70>=-200 & hc70<600
tabulate stunting

*generate Mother's BMI
generate mother_nutrition=.
replace mother_nutrition=1 if ha40>=1660 & ha40<1850
replace mother_nutrition=2 if ha40>=1850 & ha40<2500
replace mother_nutrition=3 if ha40>=2500 & ha40<=3917
tabulate mother_nutrition
**
tabulate stunting mother_nutrition

Thank you.
