Description

Definition
For household members under age 5 who were potential subjects for height and weight measurement, HWCDAYMEAS_NP (HC17_NP) reports the day of the month, according to the Nepali calendar, on which their height and weight were measured by DHS personnel. Their age in days on the day of measurement is used in DHS calculations of anthropometric Z-scores.

The complementary variables HWCMONTHMEAS_NP and HWCYEARMEAS_NP report the month and the year, respectively, according to the Nepali calendar, of the young household member's height and weight measurement.
