Dear user,
The difference between the numbers you are getting in your tabulation of h31 and the number in Table 10.4 is that your tabulation is unweighted, while Table 10.4 is calculated on weighted data. All tables in DHS Final Reports are weighted data (unless the title specifies otherwise).

The DHS is a survey sample, so in order for the data to be representative of the population, it is necessary to apply weights (so most applications of using the data need to use weighted data). For information about weighting the data, please go to this resource on our website: http://www.dhsprogram.com/data/Using-DataSets-for-Analysis.c fm:

The Unweighted Frequency of h31:
No: 3978
Yes: 1050
DK: 26
Total: 5054


The Weighted Frequency of h31:
No: 3963
Yes: 1148
DK: 29
Total: 5140
