Calculate population in SpatialPolygonDataFrame

I have a question regarding a calculation I have to do.
I have the following dataset:
- a SpatialPolygonDataFrame called
SPDFwhich consists of polygons with numerous attributes
Since I intersected this SPDF previously I want to calculate the population based on the new shapes of every polygon.
I have in my SPDF a variable called PopulationPerSQM which is basically the population per square meters. All I need to do now, is going through every polygon inside the SPDF and simply calculate:
PopulationPerSQM*Area. However I do not know how to iterate through a SpatialPolygonDataFrame and to then calculate for each polygon inside it the population. Anybody has an idea how to do that or can link me to the solution please?

A reproducible example would be very helpful here.

Are you familiar with the str(SPDF) command and the $ and @ operators that would allow you to access different parts of the spatial polygon data frame?

@Tomas: I got it using SPDF$Population<-round(SPDF$aream2*SPDF$PopPerSQM)
