Description

Definition
For household members under age 5 who were potential subjects for height and weight measurement and were not a first-born child, HWCBIRTHINTPREMO (HC63) indicates the preceding birth interval, or the length of time in months the child was born after the mother's previous birth (i.e., after the child's first older sibling).
