Description

Definition
For household members under age 5 who were potential subjects for height and weight measurement, HWCWEIGHT (HC2) reports their weight as measured by DHS personnel. There is one implied decimal place in the weight. Dividing HWCWEIGHT by 10 will yield the measured weight in kilograms.
