PhenoAge - White blood cell counts values #9

Hi!
Thanks for creating such a useful tool for analyzing biomedical data! It is very cool to work with, no need for R and different web interfaces.
I have a question about Blood chemistry clock PhenoAge.
In the original formula, the unit of measurement for White blood cell counts is 1000 cells/uL (or 10^9/L).
The normal range of values for these units is between 4 and 9 (approximately).
However, in your example, the table gives values of [0.006037, 0.004135, 0.007382, 0.006537, 0.004695].
Could they be 1000 times smaller than they should be? And the values are supposed to be [6.037, 4.135, 7.382, 6.537, 4.695]?
Could you please help to figure this out? Maybe I've lost 1000 somewhere?

Hi. thanks for bringing this to my attention! You are the example indeed has wrong values. The formula implement in the package is exactly the same in the paper so I would just stick to those units. I'll try to update the example df soon. Thanks again!
