NHANES 2017-2018 Height Weight Data

This is the age, height, and weight data extracted from the NHANES 2017-2018 survey dataset. The original data were BMX_J.xpt (see https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nchs/nhanes/search/datapage.aspx?Component=Examination&CycleBeginYear=2017) and DEMO_J.xpt (see https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nchs/nhanes/search/datapage.aspx?Component=Demographics&CycleBeginYear=2017). I used Linux Mint 20 to get the CSV files from the above XPT files. First, I installed the R foreign package by the next command. $ sudo apt install r-cran-foreign Then, I developed two R scripts to extract the CSV data. The scripts are attached to this dataset. For analysis of the CSV file, I used the following commands within the R environment. > data > h =20 & data$age > w =20 & data$age > wt > ht > model > summary(model) Call: lm(formula = wt ~ ht) Residuals: Min 1Q Median 3Q Max -0.29406 -0.07182 -0.00558 0.06514 0.47048 Coefficients: Estimate Std.
