Predict bone mass

Description

Predict bone mass from age_years, height, weight, gender, using logistic equations fit to data from Baxter-Jones et al. 2011, or for infants < 1 year, using equation from Koo et al. 2000 (See Price et al. 2003)

Usage

bone_mass_age(age_years, age_months, height, weight, gender)

Arguments

age_years	Vector of ages in years.
age_months	Vector of ages in months.
height	Vector of heights in cm.
weight	Vector of body weights in kg.
gender	Vector of genders, either 'Male' or 'Female'.

Value

Vector of bone masses.
