The 2008-2009 Kenya DHS as the following age variables
* Household (women, children, and men)
* pr:hv105: Age of household member
* Women
* pr:ha1: Age in years
* ir:v012: Current age
* Men
* pr:hb1: Age in years
* mr:mv012: Current age
* Children
* pr:hc1: Age in months
* kr:hw1: Age in months

Here is how these variables agree or disagree
* Women
* ir:v012 agrees with pr:hv105 on 7320 and disagrees on 1124
* ir:v012 agrees with pr:ha1 on 8438 and disagrees on 6
* Men
* mr:mv012 agrees with pr:hv105 on 2634 and disagrees on 831
* mr:mv012 agrees with pr:hb1 on 3462 and disagrees on 3
* Children
* floor(kr:hw1/12) agrees with pr:hv105 on 5110 and disagrees on 380
* kr:hw1 agrees with pr:hc1 on all 5490

Why do the variables disagree, and which would be the most accurate to use?

Many thanks,

Bill
