ps command fields

What's the story with fields on a ps command output?

I have a copy of 1.10 here which has the -o option allowing the user to
choose the columns
But I've got a copy of 1.13 which doesn't allow this, so I assume this is
a busybox build choice?

In the 1.13 one there is the option of a "stat" field - which seems to
have disappeared on my 1.17 one - did I fail to ask for it, or has it
been withdrawn ?

More to the point, if I don't have stat, can I be sure I won't see zombie
and terminated processes in the output of ps?
