Because this table is for the study cohort, women missing data for any of the variables are already excluded, as displayed in Table A1. Percentages are weighted based on the sampling weights specified by National Family Health Survey 4. Weighting was not incorporated for the median and interquartile range for Woman's Age at Childbirth and Woman's Age at Marriage.
