In nutriverse/intergrowth: An R Implementation of the INTERGROWTH-21st Standards and Tools

################################################################################
#
#' The INTERGROWTH-21st Project is a multi-centre, multi-ethnic,
#' population-based project, conducted between 2009 and 2014, in eight
#' demarcated urban areas: Pelotas, Brazil; Shunyi County, Beijing, China;
#' Central Nagpur, India; Turin, Italy; Parklands Suburb, Nairobi, Kenya;
#' Muscat, Oman; Oxford, UK, and Seattle, USA. Its primary aim was to study
#' growth, health, nutrition and neuro-development from less than 14 weeks of
#' gestation to 2 years of age, using the same conceptual framework as the WHO
#' Multicentre Growth Reference Study, so as to produce international
#' prescriptive standards for pregnancy dating, maternal weight gain, fetal
#' growth, newborn size, the postnatal growth of preterm infants and cognitive
#' development at 2 years of age. These scientifically robust clinical tools
#' may be used to monitor and evaluate maternal and fetal well-being, as well as
#' infant health and nutrition at an individual and population level.
