# Overview

The goal of ukbwranglr is to facilitate analysing UK Biobank data, including:

1.  Reading a selection of UK Biobank variables into R.

2.  Summarising repeated continuous variable measurements.[^1]

3.  Extracting phenotypic outcomes of interest from clinical events data.[^2]

[^1]: For example, calculating a mean/minimum/maximum body mass index (BMI) from repeated BMI measurements.

[^2]: For example, identifying participants with a diagnosis of hypertension from linked primary and secondary health care records.

# Installation

You can install the development version of ukbwranglr with:

```{r eval=FALSE}

# install.packages("devtools")

devtools::install_github("rmgpanw/ukbwranglr")

```

# Basic workflow

The basic workflow is as follows:

1.  Create a data dictionary for your main UK Biobank dataset with `make_data_dict()`.

2.  Read selected variables into R with `read_ukb()`.

3.  Summarise continuous variables with `summarise_numerical_variables()`.

4.  Tidy clinical events data with `tidy_clinical_events()` or `make_clinical_events_db()`, and extract outcomes of interest with `extract_phenotypes()`.

5.  Analyse.
