Missing values or “don’t know” responses are shown separately in the percent distributions.
This indicator provides a summary of the background characteristics of women and men in the population and in the survey. Data are typically presented weighted but with the unweighted survey denominator also shown. Standard background characteristics include age, self-reported health status, religion, ethnicity, marital status, residence, subnational region, education, wealth quintile.
Percent distributions for each background characteristic add up to 100 percent.
Self-reported health status was not reported prior to DHS-8 when it was added to the questionnaire.
