a For the method of estimating the child 'set' sample, see Section 1.6.4. Estimated bases have been rounded
b Only 2 children per household were eligible for interview so if more then 2 children were in the household the additional ones were not interviewed
c Height and weight measurements were only taken from children aged 2+. As the set sample is based on children aged 0 to 15 the figures shown will underestimated the height and weight response rates
