Hi, would I report the person as "0" years old or <blank> if they died under a year old? Like for example, if it was recorded as 4 months and 3 days old when they died. Thankyou

    Check your field helps (found by clicking on the question mark that appears when we click on a field), since every project doesn't have the same rules. But, in general, when it is a single field for the age:

    If less than 1 year was recorded or a child was stillborn, type the age as 0 (zero).
