Description

Definition
For female household members of childbearing age who were potential subjects for height and weight measurement, HWFWEIGHT (HA2) reports their weight as measured by DHS personnel. There is one implied decimal place in the weight. Dividing HWFWEIGHT by 10 will yield the measured weight in kilograms.
