Dear User,
Maternal age at birth is computed as follows: (B3-V011)/12.
You may also want to refer to The Guide to DHS Statistics. http://www.measuredhs.com/pubs/pdf/DHSG1/Guide_to_DHS_Statis tics_29Oct2012_DHSG1.pdf The document is bookmarked. Under the bookmark: III. Guide to Indivdual Statistics, the 4th bookmark under that section, you will find "Age at First Birth". You may also find the Standard Recode Manual http://www.measuredhs.com/pubs/pdf/DHSG4/Recode6_DHS_22March 2013_DHSG4.pdf useful as you look at the recode variables for your data.
Thank you.
