ANSYMFRND_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANSYMFRND_01) and, in some cases, additional births, up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANSYMFRND_02, ANSYMFRND_03, ANSYMFRND_04, ANSYMFRND_05, and ANSYMFRND_06).

ANSYMFRND_ALL is largely comparable across most samples. See comparability for more information.
