User note: In the HRS Wave 3 Preliminary Release, this variable was listed,
in error, as 'age'; really is only an approximation of age. The variable
was created by subtracting year of birth from the year of the current
interview; it does not take into account day or month of either. We have
retained the variable because it has implications in the skip logic of the
questionnaire, but advise you to not use it for other purposes.
