Description

Definition

For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, ANIROND_ALL (M46_x) indicates the number of days they took iron tablets or syrup during the pregnancy.

ANIROND_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANIROND_01) up to, potentially, the sixth most recent birth (i.e., ANIROND_02, ANIROND_03, ANIROND_04, ANIROND_05, and ANIROND_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If ANIROND_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

For most surveys, this information on days of taking iron supplements during pregnancy was collected for only the most recent birth (ANIROND_01). Surveys in which the data were collected for additional births are noted in the comparability section.
