Description
For sample adults who refused to report their age or don't know specific age, FLG65 indicates whether the sample adult is older than or younger than 65.
The NHIS documentation reports:
This variable is collected during rostering from a household respondent who answered refuse or donât know to the age of a household member who is subsequently selected as the Sample Adult, and for whom the household respondent indicated that the person is 18 and over. AGE65 (IPUMS variable name: FLG65) may be inconsistent with AGEP_A (IPUMS variable name: AGE) because AGEP_A is confirmed with the Sample Adult respondent and uses date of birth to verify age. Analysts may use AGE65 when AGEP_A is unknown for categorizing Sample Adults less than age 65 and 65 and over.
