Description

Definition
For surviving children born in the three to five years before the survey, HWYEARMEAS_NP (HW19_NP) reports the year during which the child's height and weight were measured by DHS personnel, according to Vikram Samvat, the official calendar of Nepal. This variable is only available for the Nepali samples.

The complementary variables HWDAYMEAS_NP (HW17_NP) and HWMONTHMEAS_NP (HW18_NP) report the day of the month and the year, respectively, of the child's height and weight measurement, according to the Nepali calendar.
