# Generate both MUAC z-scores and BMI z-scores and their percentiles for age for children/adolescents given their age, sex, MUAC, and BMI values. Generates both MUAC and BMI z-scores for age z-scores and percentiles based on LMS method for children and adolescents aged 3 months to 19 years olds. ```r muacz.bmiz( Datafm, age_range.muac = "60-228", age_range.bmi = "61-228", digits.zscore = 2, digits.perc = 2, Notes = FALSE ) ``` ## Arguments - `Datafm`: A DataFrame with variables including, age (in months), sex (1, 2 or "Male", "Female"), muac (numeric: in cm). - `age_range.muac`: MUAC age range in months: This can be "3-60" or "60-228". - `age_range.bmi`: BMI age range in months: This can be "0-24", "24-60" or "61-228". - `digits.zscore`: The number of digits for z-score variable - `digits.perc`: The number of digits for percentile variable - `Notes`: Is FALSE by default. If set to TRUE, 'notes' will be printed on the console about the nature, range of variables allowed and number of records processed. ## Returns A DataFrame with MUAC and BMI z-scores and their percentiles ## Examples ```r ## Example 1 ## creating a hypothetical dataset dat1 <- data.frame(age = c(61, 73, 181, 217), sex = 1, muac = c(13.0, 15.7, 34.1, 43.9), bmi = c(12.1, 14.1, 27.1, 35.4)) ans1 <- muacz.bmiz(Datafm = dat1, age_range.muac = "60-228", age_range.bmi = "61-228") # ans1 ## Example 1 ## creating a hypothetical dataset dat2 <- data.frame(age = c(25, 36, 48, 60), sex = 2, muac = c(15, 17, 21.3, 14), bmi = c(15.7, 16.8, 20.6, 12.7)) ans2 <- muacz.bmiz(Datafm = dat2, age_range.muac = "3-60", age_range.bmi = "24-60") # ans2 ``` ## References Mramba L., Ngari M., Mwangome M., Muchai L., Bauni E., Walker A.S., Gibb D.M., Fegan G. and Berkley J.A.
