BIRTHWEIGHT is a numeric variable in the data format of "double".
Description
BIRTHWEIGHT reports the weight at birth of a woman's most recent child in kilograms.
Comparability
The most recent birth must have occurred within the last two years to be recorded for most samples. For Sierra Leone 2017 and Egypt 2013, the birth could be within the last five years.
The data are converted to kilograms when a sample reported weight in grams or pounds.
A small number of values below 0.5 or above 9.5 kilograms are coded to missing.
