targetHeight: Calculate target height

In CrescNet/GrowthSDS: Utility Functions for Growth SDS Calculations

Description

Calculate target height

Usage

targetHeight(
  sex,
  motherHeight,
  fatherHeight,
  targetAge = 18,
  measurement = "height",
  method = "Tanner",
  refName,
  ref = GrowthSDS::kromeyerHauschild,
  hermanussen.coef = 0.72,
  tanner.coef = list(male = 6.5, female = -6.5),
  molinari.coef = list(male = 10.2, female = -2.6)
)

Arguments

sex	sex of the subject, must correspond to the sex of the reference
motherHeight	height of the mother
fatherHeight	height of the father
targetAge	age when target height is reached
measurement	name of the measurement in the reference (default: 'height')
method	method to be used to calculate the target height, possible values are 'Tanner' (default), 'Molinari' and 'Hermanussen'
refName	name of the reference to be used to calculate the SDS values, defaults to 'kromeyer-hauschild_et_al'
ref	reference object to be used to calculate the SDS, either ref or refName must be given
hermanussen.coef	coefficiant of Hermanussen target height formula
tanner.coef	list of coefficiants of Tanner target height formula (key-value-pairs where the key is sex)
molinari.coef	list of coefficiants of Molinari target height formula (key-value-pairs where the key is sex)

Value

list containing height, sds and method

Examples

targetHeight(
  sex = 'female',
  motherHeight = 175,
  fatherHeight = 180,
  method = 'Hermanussen',
  refName = 'cdc'
)
