Percent distribution of circumcised women age 15-49 by age at circumcision.
Coverage:
Population base: Circumcised women age 15-49 (IR file)
Time period: Current status at time of survey
Numerators:
Number of circumcised women age 15-49 (g102 = 1) by age at circumcision:
1) Women circumcised before age 5 (g106 in 0:4 or g106 = 95)
2) Women circumcised at age 5-9 (g106 in 5:9)
3) Women circumcised at age 10-14 (g106 in 10:14)
4) Women circumcised at age 15+ (g106 in 15:49)
5) Circumcised women with age at circumcision unknown or missing (g106 = 98)
Denominator: Number of circumcised women age 15-49 (g102 = 1)
Variables: IR file.

Numerator divided by the denominator, multiplied by 100.
Respondents who have missing values are assumed to not know the age at which they were circumcised and are included in the denominator.
Women may not report a specific age, but instead report that they were circumcised during infancy. This is coded as variable g106 = 95.
Percent distribution adds up to 100 percent.
