essential8: Reproducible cardiovascular health metric scoring
Description
essential8 is a transparent, versioned, and auditable implementation of
published adult cardiovascular health metric definitions. Adult scoring,
including transparent handling of unavailable components, is based on the
American Heart Association's 2022 Life's Essential 8 definition and is
available through score_le8().
Scientific status
The adult scoring rules in version 0.2.0 are implemented from the cited AHA
publications and covered by boundary and input-validation tests. Users remain
responsible for verifying measurement protocols, population-specific diet
percentiles, and caller-adjudicated clinical-judgment flags. The package is
research software and is not intended for clinical decision support.
