Description
Definition
For household members under age 5 who were potential subjects for height and weight measurement, HWCHEIGHT (HC3) reports their height as measured by DHS personnel. There is one implied decimal place in the height. Dividing HWCHEIGHT by 10 will yield the measured height in kilograms.
