you need to look at and use the new variables generated by -orthog-,
see -help orthog-.
*------------------ begin example --------------------
sysuse auto, clear
orthog weight length headroom displacement turn, gen(we_o le_o he_o di_o tu_o)
// correlations among the original variables
corr weight length headroom displacement turn
// correlations among the "orthogonalized" variables
corr we_o le_o he_o di_o tu_o
*----------------- end example ---------------------
