Dear R enthusiasts, I would like to announce nhanesA, a package that
enables easy retrieval of the data tables that are available at the
National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES).
NHANES data are used in over 10,000 peer-reviewed journal publications
every year. In addition to easy table download, nhanesA features several
functions that implement web scraping (using rvest) to display table names,
table variables, and table code translations.
For more information, Here's a link to the package:
https://cran.r-project.ohg/web/packages/nhanesA/
<https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/nhanesA/>
install.packages("nhanesA") will get you started.

Hopefully it will be useful for clinical research and general data
exploration.

Sincerely,
Christopher Endres
