Hello,

I'm creating a variable for the mother's age, but there are some differences between v012 and v447a. Which one should be preferred?

Thanks

You should use `v012` as the standard and reliable variable for the mother's age in years across DHS datasets. Only consider `v447a` if the survey documentation specifically advises its use, as it's non-standard and may vary in meaning.
