Description

Definition
For women who had ever been married or lived with a man, YRSTO1STMAR (V512) reports the number of years from the start of the woman's first marriage/union to the date of the survey interview. The calculation is made using century month codes for both dates.

For the month and year of first marriage/union, see MAR1STMO (V507) and MAR1STYR (V508) respectively.
