*The HealthCal R package is designed to find out different parameters like basal metabolic rate, body mass index etc. related to fitness and health of a person. This package shows the values of the parameters with the present health status (healthy or not) according the WHO prescribed norms.* \*\*\*\*
```{r setup} #Example how the package works library(HealthCal) #BFP calculation # The body fat percentage (BFP) of a human or other living being is the total mass of fat divided by total body mass, multiplied by 100; body fat includes essential body fat and storage body fat. #Input data that includes height, weight and age of a female dataset47=c(175,90,25) #The body fat percentage (BFP) of female can be found using BFPF(dataset47) #Input data that includes height, weight and age of a male dataset46=c(175,90,25) ##The body fat percentage (BFP) of male can be found using BFPF(dataset47) #BMR calculation #Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the rate of energy expenditure per unit time by endothermic animals at rest. The basal metabolic rate (BMR) of a person can be calculated using the Harris-Benedict equation, also known as the Harris-Benedict principle (1918). The function was created using this Harris-Benedict principle.The amount that should be consumed each day in kilocalories to maintain one's present weight can be calculated by multiplying the predicted BMR value by a factor that reflects the person's level of activity. # Input data that includes height, weight and age of a person (male/female) dataset45=c(175,90,25) #BMR of the person can be found using BMR(dataset45) #The body mass index (BMI) is a measurement based on a person's mass (weight) and height. The BMI is calculated by dividing the body weight by the square of the height, and it is expressed in kilogrammes per square metre (kg/m2) since weight is measured in kilogrammes and height is measured in metres. The function was created using formula given by Keys et al. (1972). #BMR calculation #Input data that includes height and weight of a person dataset44=c(175,90) #BMI of the person can be found using BMI(dataset44) ```
