Examples

?bmicat

# No dataset provided

 bmicat(data = NULL,sex = "F",age = 18,wt.kg = 70 ,ht.m = 1.75, age.unit="year",bind = F)

# Create and provide data frame df first:

 df <- data.frame(sex = c("F","M", "F"), age = c(18,15,NA), weight = c(70,50, 55), height = c(1.75, 1.60, 1.65))

# Use the new data frame, df with the function bmicat:

 df <- bmicat(data = df,sex = sex,age = age,wt.kg = weight ,ht.m = height, age.unit="year",bind = T)

 # Now df has two added variables  

 df
