Filter Data by Age Range

Filters data to include persons with ages in the range between age_gt and age_lt. If age_group has not been expanded into min and max ages of the range, the input data is first passed to separate_age_groups(). If the boundary age lies within a group, that group is not included in the output.

filter_age_groups(data, age_gt = 0, age_lt = Inf,
  age_group = age_group)

Arguments

data	A data frame.
age_gt	Youngest age (inclusive).
age_lt	Eldest age (inclusive).
age_group	Unquoted column name containing the age grouping.

Examples

d_age_group <- dplyr::tibble(
  id = 1:4,
  age_group = c("0 - 4", "10 - 14", "65 - 69", "85+")
)

d_age_group %>%
  filter_age_groups(age_gt = 0, age_lt = 15)
#> # A tibble: 2 x 2
#>      id age_group
#>   <int> <chr>    
#> 1     1 0 - 4    
#> 2     2 10 - 14  

d_age_group %>%
  filter_age_groups(age_gt = 65)
#> # A tibble: 2 x 2
#>      id age_group
#>   <int> <chr>    
#> 1     3 65 - 69  
#> 2     4 85+      

# Notice that the "65 - 69" group is *not* included
d_age_group %>%
  filter_age_groups(age_lt = 66)
#> # A tibble: 2 x 2
#>      id age_group
#>   <int> <chr>    
#> 1     1 0 - 4    
#> 2     2 10 - 14
