get_age

Takes two Date objects and calculates age based on
<code><a href="/link/difftime?package=PAutilities&version=1.1.0" data-mini-rdoc="PAutilities::difftime">difftime</a></code> (in days) divided by 365.2425 days per year (for
age in years) or 30.4375 days per month (for age in months).

A collection of utilities that are useful for a broad range of
tasks that are common in physical activity research, including the
following: creation of Bland-Altman plots, formatted descriptive
statistics, metabolic calculations (e.g. basal metabolic rate predictions)
and conversions, demographic calculations (age and age-for-body-mass-index
percentile), bout analysis of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical
activity, and analysis of bout detection algorithm performance.
