Notes

Corrected age from individual questionnaire. For adult respondents with a completed woman or man questionnaire, this information is taken from the CMC of date of the household interview and the CMC of the date of birth (based on V009 and V010 for women and MV009 and MV010 for men). For adult respondents without a complete individual questionnaire, the information is taken from the age as listed in the household schedule (HV105). For children listed in their mother’s birth history, the age of the child is computed based on the CDC of the date of the biomarker interview and the CDC of the birth date of the child as listed in the birth history. In a few cases the biomarker dates are not available and then the CDC date of the household interview is used. However, if the child was not listed in a mother’s birth history then the age of the child is computed based on the CDC of the date of birth of the child as listed in the biomarker questionnaire.
