help with -esttab- (how to show variable names in tex output)

[Sara Gregori]

Hello,
I am using esttab to export some summary statistics table to latex but I cannot figure out to how to get the tex output to contain variable names. I can see only variable labels but not the variable names. Can someone please advise how to get the variable names to show in the tex output?

Currently it looks like this:

	mean	sd	min	max
from 12 to 15 y.o.	0,33	...	0	1
from 16 to 21 y.o.	0,33	...	0	1
from 22 to 30 y.o.	0,33	...	0	1
female	0,48	...	0	1
male	0,52	...

and i want it to look like this:

	mean	sd	min	max
Age
from 12 to 15 y.o.	0,33	...	0	1
from 16 to 21 y.o.	0,33	...	0	1
from 22 to 30 y.o.	0,33	...	0	1
Gender
female	0,48	...	0	1
male	0,52	...

My current code is:

eststo test1: proportion Age Gender [pw=weight]
estadd summ

esttab test1 using test1, tex cells("mean(fmt(2)) sd(fmt(2)) min(fmt(0)) max(fmt(0))") ///
replace title({\b Table 1.}Summary statistics) nonumbers mtitles(" ") ///
addnote(Note: All figures are weighted.)


Thank you in advance for your time!
