-  LLMs:
-  Mortality: Over the years, I have worked on several mortality calculators:
-  Classic first version Mortality
-  The newest one works for people over 50.   It will tell you your
optimal weight.
-  A 
phone friendly version.
-  Heart
disease by ACC.  (Not mine! I always assumed someone would create a much
better calculator than the ones we created!  I like this one a lot.
But only hearts and not many variables.)
