Shiny Presentation Introduction

This presentation is created for the course Developing Data Products, for Prroject 2- Shiny Application and Reproducible Pitch

The shiny app developed for this assignment is avalilable at:https://eddychetz.shinyapps.io/Body_Mass_Index/

The source codes of ui.R and server.R and also Rpresentation are available on the GitHub repo: https://github.com/eddychetz/Developing-Data-Products-R-Markdown-Presentation-Plotly-gh-pages

The Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculator can be used to calculate your BMI value and weight status while taking your age into consideration.

Body Mass Index Formula

The formulas to calculate BMI based on two of the most commonly used unit systems:

BMI = weight(kg)/height(m2)^2

• Moderate Thinness 16 - 17
• Mild Thinness 17 - 18.5
• Normal 18.5 - 25
• Overweight 25 - 30
• Obese Class I 30 - 35
• Obese Class II 35 - 40
• Obese Class III > 40
