Format

An object of class data.frame with 30 rows and 6 columns.

An object of class data.frame with 8 rows and 6 columns.

An object of class data.frame with 952 rows and 6 columns.

An object of class data.frame with 714 rows and 6 columns.

An object of class data.frame with 514 rows and 8 columns.

Details

Data sets are named to reflect the source.

For all the data sets provided units are uniform:

age:

Patient age; months

height:

length/height/stature; cm

weight:

kilograms

male:

integer value; 1 = male, 0 = female

sbp:

systolic blood pressure; mmHg

dbp:

diastolic blood pressure; mmHg

Columns with a name such as sbp is a point observations. Summary statistics are appended to the variable as needed, e.g., sbp_mean and sbp_sd for the reported mean and standard deviation of systolic blood pressure.

CDC ages represent whole month but reported at the half month. That is, age = 12.5 is short-hand for 12 <= age < 13. The exception is birth; age = 0 is birth and not a range.

bp_parameters has the estimated mean and standard deviations for estimating percentiles using a Gaussian distribution for a given sex, age (in months), and height (if known/applicable).
