Dear Nick,

Thank you. I came up with the following code:

*********************
egen group=group(age_cat)

sum group  ,meanonly

foreach i of num 1/`r(max)' {
 stmh hivstatus if group ==`i'
}
****************

How could I make this to do the same thing for other variables such as age_cat?

Bets wishes,

Nick
