Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, ANSWELL_ALL indicates whether she experienced swelling or edema while pregnant.

ANSWELL_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANSWELL_01) and, in some cases, additional births, potentially up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANSWELL_02, ANSWELL_03, ANSWELL_04, ANSWELL_05, and ANSWELL_06). For most surveys, this information on swelling or edema as a complication of pregnancy was collected for only the most recent birth; exceptions are noted in the comparability section.
