Description
HUSAGE2 reports the age of the woman's current or most recent husband/partner.
The related variable HUSAGE (V730) reports the age of the woman's current husband/partner only (for most samples).
For a small number of samples included in both HUSAGE and HUSAGE2, a single variable reports the age of the woman's current or most recent husband/partner, and the age of the woman's current husband/partner only is not reported separately.
