994 = Never had sex
995 = Not interviewed (female questionnaire)
996 = Not interviewed (household questionnaire)
997 = Don't know

Description
AGE1STSEX indicates the woman's self-reported age the first time she had sexual intercourse.
AGE1STSEX has not been logically edited to remove unusually low values, which were present in the original data.
The question associated with this variable was included in the female questionnaire. For maternal and newborn health samples, this question was included in the female baseline survey and was asked of the infant's mother.
Comparability
There are no comparability problems.
Comparability with IPUMS-DHS
AGE1STSEX in IPUMS-PMA is similar to the variable AGEFRSTSEX in IPUMS-DHS. The wording of the question corresponding to the IPUMS-DHS variable varies slightly over time, which may affect comparability; see the Survey Text and Universe Tab of the IPUMS-DHS variable for more information.
