The median age of the household population was 17.0 years,similar to previous observed population samples (17.5 in the 2003 KDHS and 16.9 in the 1998KDHS). In the <strong>2007</strong> <strong>KAIS</strong>, individuals under the age of 15 years constituted 46.3% of thepopulation, which was marginally higher than the 44.6% reported in 2003. Adults aged 15‐49 yearsmade up 42.1% of the population and those aged 50 years and older represented 11.5% of thehousehold population. This was a statistically significant increase from 9.0% in 2003.Age distribution within households differed by residence, with significantly more children (aged0‐14 years) and older adults (aged 50 years or older) in rural areas compared to urban areas; urbanareas consisted mainly of adults aged 15‐49 years.
