Notes
During data collection the children's height/weight roster begins by recording the line number and date of birth for all children in the household listing who are 0-5 years of age. The remaining information is then restricted to children who are born in January <Year> or later. However, the final group of children who are written to the recode file is further restricted to only those children who are younger than 60 months of age.
