Allows users to determine weight status from body mass index (BMI). The
function is designed to classify adult weight status, with default settings
yielding weight classes defined by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (see reference below). Alternatively, the function can be used as
a wrapper for get_BMI_percentile to obtain classifications for
youth.
weight_status(BMI = NULL, breaks = c(-Inf, 18.5, 25, 30, 35, 40, Inf),
labels = c("Underweight", "Healthy Weight", "Overweight", "Class 1 Obese",
"Class 2 Obese", "Class 3 Obese"), right = FALSE, youth = FALSE, ...)#get_BMI_percentile(weight_kg, height_cm, age_yrs = NULL, age_mos = NULL,
#sex = c("Male", "Female"), BMI = NULL, df = NULL,
#output = c("percentile", "classification", "both", "summary"))
