5.61 Question 35 - Age of Mother at Birth of Last Live Born Child

[Image omitted here]

Where it is evident that the female has had more than one live born child, ask: "How old were you (was she) when you (she) gave birth to your (her) last live born child?"

[p.57]

In this case also stillbirths are to be excluded and the age is to be recorded in completed years.

Here once more the possibility of recall lapse exists. Ask therefore whether this last live birth was her first, second, third, fourth, etc. live born child and the answer should correspond with the number of live born children stated at Question 32. Such checks are especially necessary in the case of women over age 45. In cases where the woman has had no live born children, mark "Not Applicable" on the top line relating to the question.
In cases where it has not been possible after all efforts to obtain the information, score "Not Stated". Where it is evident that the woman has had one live born child only, score the same age as given at Question 34.
