Hello guyz. According to the definition of age categories in the 2016 WHO questionnaire , child is to be upto 11 years whereas Adult is to be above 12 years. In the questionnaire age group calculation: isChild1 -- if(${ageInDays} >27 and ${ageInDays} <=11365.25, '1', '0') isAdult1--if(${ageInDays} >11365.25, '1', '0')

This makes any age begining from 11 years 1day to be categorised as Adult??? Is this intentional? I think in order to match definition as per documentation it should be; isChild1 -- if(${ageInDays} >27 and ${ageInDays} <12365.25, '1', '0') isAdult1--if(${ageInDays} >=12365.25, '1', '0')

Oops! sorry should be 11x365.25 (not 11365.25, seems the page assumed *) and 12365.25 should be 12x365.25
