We’ve just released a patched version of {nipnTK} (v0.2.2), our nutrition data quality toolkit R package, on CRAN. This was a general upkeep and maintenance update focused on tidying up documentation including the package website which now sports the new nutriverse colour and branding scheme. Existing users of the {nipnTK} package will be able to continue using the package as before after updating. If you work with nutrition data specifically anthropometric measurements data, consider looking into {nipnTK} and give it a try in your nutrition data processing workflows.
We’ve also spruced up the development versions of the {micronutr} and the {anthrocheckr} packages. Again, these updates are all general upkeep and maintenance focusing on package documentation and website. We plan to get a minor version release on CRAN for {micronutr} by end of March 2026 that will include new functions for adjusting serum micronutrient biomarkers for inflammation using the Biomarkers Reflecting Inflammation and Nutritional Determinants of Anemia (BRINDA) Method. For {anthrocheckr}, we plan to get a first CRAN release by the end of February 2026.
