Hello DHS forum,
the definition below is for menopause women. Does anyone know why the DHS uses 6 instead of the standard 12 months?
Thanks
Numerator:
Number of women whose last menstruation occurred six or more months before the survey (v226 in 6:399) or before the last birth (v226 = 995):
1) who have had a hysterectomy (v226 = survey specific code)
2) who declare that they are menopausal (v226 = 994)
3) who never menstruated (v226 = 996).
Excludes women who are currently pregnant or have postpartum amenorrhea (v213 = 1 or v405 = 1).
Denominator: All women age 30-49
