HealthMarkers: Toolkit for Clinical, Metabolic, and Cardiovascular Biomarker
Calculations
Computes over 50 specialist health marker functions covering
insulin sensitivity and resistance indices (fasting, oral glucose
tolerance test, adipose-tissue, tracer, and dual-energy X-ray
absorptiometry (DXA)-based), glycaemic and lipid markers, atherogenic
and metabolic syndrome scores, liver steatosis and fibrosis scores, and
cardiovascular risk algorithms (Framingham Heart Study equations,
atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) Pooled Cohort Equations,
the QRISK3 cardiac risk score, and Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation 2
(SCORE2) including the Older Persons variant (SCORE2-OP)). Also
implements renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR),
Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE), chronic kidney disease (CKD)
staging), pulmonary function (spirometry z-scores, Body-mass index,
airflow Obstruction, Dyspnea, and Exercise capacity index (BODE)),
inflammatory markers and the inflammatory age clock (iAge), hormonal
panels, body composition and anthropometric z-scores, bone turnover
markers and fracture risk (Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX)),
frailty and comorbidity indices (Rockwood, Charlson), psychiatric rating
scales, and biomarker panels from alternative biofluids (urine, saliva,
sweat). Missing value imputation helpers, pre or post computation
normalization and a unified all_health_markers() dispatcher that returns
all requested marker groups as a single wide tibble are included.
