Please i have two questions regarding how the median value is reported for some variables such as age at first marriage, age at first sex etc in the DHS country-specific reports:

(1) I realized that almost all country-specific DHS reports use the 25-49-year age group in determining the median age at first marriage and first sex. Is there any reason why the 25-49 year old age group is preferred please?

(2)Is it also appropriate to calculate the median age at first marriage using the entire woman of reproductive age(15-49 year age group)?

Thank you.
