Description

Definition
For female household members of childbearing age, HWFHEMOLEVEL (HA53) reports the level of hemoglobin in their blood, in terms of grams per deciliter (g/dl), based on testing of blood drawn by DHS personnel. Hemoglobin levels are tested to determine the presence and severity of anemia. HWFHEMOLEVEL is a 3-digit variable with 1 implied decimal place.

For a summary statement of the female household member's anemia status, based on grouped hemoglobin level results, see HWFANEMIALVL (HA57).
