Ask questions 1-9 of everyone who is enumerated, without exception and according to the detailed instructions below.

Question set 4: Age
How old are you/is the person in completed years?

[p. 32]

The information to obtain for each person is the age in completed years, and not how old the person is going to be at his/her next birthday.

Keeping in mind the importance of this question set, do everything possible to obtain the age in completed years as precisely as possible. If this isn't possible, insist on getting at least an approximate age so that there is always some information about the age.

Record on the appropriate line:
A) The number of completed years for persons aged one or older
B) 00 for persons aged less than one year, including newborns
