Another response from Tom Pullum:

In the IR file, v012 is age in completed years. (v009 is calendar month of birth and v010 is calendar year of birth; we do not obtain day of birth).

In the PR file, hv105 is age in completed years.

hv105 and v012 do not necessarily agree but if they differ we give priority to v012 because it is always obtained from the woman herself.

I see that sh303, which is always in the range 35 to 64, sometimes differs from both hv105 and v012. However, I can only find 3 cases in which there is a blood sugar measurement (sh336k<.) and hv012 is less than 35. It is 34 for those 3 cases. hv105 is always in the range 35-64 when sh303 is in the range 35-64, even though they do not always agree exactly.
