Description

Definition

HWINDEX (HWIDX) reports the line number, in the birth history, of children under age 5 who were included in the health history of the women's questionnaire and who were potential subjects for height and weight measurement. The most recently born child would be coded 1, and the line number of the child should match the number in BIDX (index to birth history) and HIDX (index to children in health history).
