LOINC code56049-0
nameDeprecated PhenX measure - current age
descriptionQuestion to determine the respondent's current age using his/her date of birth. Current age is a critical component of a respondent's demographic background. DOB/current age is essential to medical research because it captures the age at the time of the clinical visit/diagnosis. Age is related to nearly all diseases and conditions and is the strongest potential confounder of other effects on these processes. Current age is often used to stratify respondents for more valid comparison (e.g., obesity of males aged 40-45 in Mississippi).
