Comparability — General
The age universe differs between the samples.
Comparability — Dominican Republic [top]
This variable is top-coded at 40+ years.
Comparability — Mexico [top]
This variable is only available for the 2000, 2010, and 2020 samples. Respondents were asked to provide the age in either days, months, or years, not all three. Thus, the data in AGEDEADYR has complementary information in AGEDEADDAY and AGEDEADMO.
The 2020 data are top-coded at 65+ years.
