Description

Definition

FEDTUBER24H (M37R) indicates whether the child ate white potatoes, white yams, manioc, cassava, or any other foods made from roots during the previous day, either at night or during the daytime. These vegetables contain healthful nutrients but lack the vitamin A content of their yellow counterparts, such as sweet potatoes and orange yams. FEDTUBER24H is a characteristic of the child.

The complementary variable FEDYELVEG24H (M37M) indicates whether the child ate pumpkin, carrots, squash, or sweet potatoes that are yellow or orange inside.

The related variable MAFEDTUBER24H (V414F) indicates whether the child's mother gave her youngest surviving child white potatoes, white yams, manioc, cassava, or any other foods made from roots during the previous day.

The related variable FEDTUBER24HX reports the number of times the child ate white potatoes, white yams, manioc, cassava, or any other foods made from roots in the previous 24 hours. FEDTUBERWKD (M40R) reports the number of days the child ate white potatoes, white yams, manioc, cassava, or any other foods made from roots during the past week.
