Description

For sample persons ages 18 and older who do not have confirmed diabetes and who have had amputations of all or part of both legs, AMPUT2EV reports whether the person's amputation on his or her second leg was of his or her toe, foot, leg, or part of a leg.

This question is complementary to DIAMPUT2EV, which was asked of adults who have confirmed diabetes and have had amputations of all or part of both legs. For information on the other leg with an amputation, please see AMPUTEV and DIAMPUTEV.
