Get relative risk for diseases given mMETs

Computes the relative risks (RR) for individuals in the baseline population for each disease given their mMETs (PA exposure)

Usage

gen_pa_rr(mmets_pp, conf_int = F)

Arguments

mmets_pp

individual mMETs

Value

data frame of relative risks per person per disease

Details

This function performs the following steps:

• loop through all diseases that are related to physical activity levels:

  • set the quantile of the value of the dose response curves to be extracted. If running in constant mode, the quantile is usually set to 0.5, i.e. to the median of the dose response curves. If running in sample mode, then the quantile can be set to be sampled from a distribution in the input parameters.

  • create one vector containing all the mMET values for all scenarios

  • assign the relative risk for the given disease and quantile to the given mMET values for all people in the baseline population for all scenarios by calling the drpa::dose_response function

  • extract the RR for each scenario from the vector containing all RR for all scenarios

  • if confidence intervals are required, also extract the RR upper and lower confidence values for each scenario
