Description
Definition
For male household members, HWMHTAPCT (HB4) reports the man's height-for-age percentile, based on smoothed percentile growth charts by age and sex developed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
The reference standard contains data for children up to age 18. For all men age 18 and over, the value for 215 months (17 years, 11 months) is used, based on the assumption that men are fully grown by age 18.
HWMHEIGHT (HB3) reports the man's height as measured by DHS personnel.
