Description

Definition
For household members under age 5, HWCARMCIR reports the circumference of the child's upper arm in millimeters. Dividing HWCARMCIR by 10 yields the child's measured arm circumference in centimeters.

IPUMS-DHS has not recoded any numeric values in HWCARMCIR. However, some values may be outside of a plausible range for a child's arm circumference. Researchers are encouraged to set upper and lower bounds to reflect a plausible range.
