Description

Definition
For female household members, HWFHTAPCT (HA4) reports the woman's height-for-age percentile, based on smoothed percentile growth charts by age and sex developed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.

The reference standard contains data for children up to age 18. For all women age 18 and over, the value for 215 months (17 years, 11 months) is used, based on the assumption that women are fully grown by age 18.

HWFHEIGHT (HA3) reports the woman's length or height as measured by DHS personnel.
