The Decedent Age (Observation) profile provides the decedent's chronological age at the time of death.
The DecedentAge profile of Observation records the decedents age at time of death.
Notes:
Age Range | Units |

age < 1 hr | minutes |
1 hr ≤ age < 24 hours | hours |
1 day ≤ age < 28 days (1 "month") | days |
1 month ≤ age < 12 months | months |
1 year ≤ age ≤ 135 | years |
age unknown | unknown |
