Generating z-scores for child malnutrition

[Kamola Babamuradova]

Hello everyone,

I have an issue with z-score calculation for child malnutrition. I'm using old DHS datasets (1997) and the HAZ values are not provided, so I have to calculate on my own.
I used zscore06 command, but the prevalence results are different from the report.

I know there is another "zanthro" command in Stata, but I'm not sure how to use it.

Can somebody help with the code or suggest any other way to calculate z-scores?

Thank you

As you'd find it you googled it, z = (X - μ)/σ, so
su x
g z_x=(x - r(mean))/r(sd)
