calcIntakeBodyweight

Description

it computes the food intake pro capita through the bodyweight and the activity level. First it computes the basal metabolic rate (bmr) through the Schofield equation and then the estimated energy required (eer) depending on the activitiy level by FAO/WHO/UNU tables (Human Energy Requirments, Rome 2004)

Usage

calcIntakeBodyweight(
  bodyweight,
  bodyheight = NULL,
  inactivity,
  tmean = NULL,
  method = NULL
)

Arguments

bodyweight

bodyweight in kg per capita or "standardized" for assuming standard values

bodyheight

for mehthod FAO_WHO_UNU1985

inactivity

Share of population inactive, provided as magpie object with different age groups

tmean

mean annual temperature

method

method for calculating intake: either FAO_WHO_UNU1985 for estimates based on height and bodyweight, schofield for just bodyweight, or HHS_USDA for recommended values for US-americans
