I helped Daniel with this macro. The macro calculates:
Fog Index
Flesch Reading Scale
Flesch-Kincaid Index
Coleman-Liau Grade
It ignores all paragraphs that are not of the style:
"First paragraph", "Text body", "Standard"
Just so you know. This can be confusing and cause unexpected results.

The Fogg index gives a measure of the readability of a document based on
the average number of words per sentence and the number of polysyllabic
words. Does anyone know of a macro or extension that will calculate the
Fogg index for a Writer document (or a text document)? Or, if not the
actual Fogg index, any other numerical indication of the clarity of a
piece of text?
I have Googled and looked on the OOo extensions page but ...
For details of how to calculate the Fogg index, see, among others,

I remember some time ago Daniel Carrera wrote a macro that provided
readability stats... This one can be found here:

I've only used it some time ago and I'm unsure if it actually uses the Fogg
index.
