The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Law
  • Statistics
  • Internal medicine

Her primary areas of investigation include Gerontology, Walkability, Environmental health, Level design and Obesity. The various areas that Benedicte Deforche examines in her Gerontology study include Cross-sectional study, Sedentary lifestyle, Demography and Quality of life. Her Walkability study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Psychosocial, Activities of daily living, Health promotion, Social class and Socioeconomic status.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Multilevel model and Biostatistics. Her study in Obesity is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Developmental psychology, Weight gain and Body mass index. Her research investigates the connection with Overweight and areas like Physical therapy which intersect with concerns in Health education and Normal weight.

Her most cited work include:

  • Relationship between the physical environment and physical activity in older adults: A systematic review (343 citations)
  • Relationship between the physical environment and physical activity in older adults: A systematic review (343 citations)
  • Neighborhood SES and walkability are related to physical activity behavior in Belgian adults. (214 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Gerontology, Environmental health, Psychological intervention, Overweight and Physical therapy. Her Gerontology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Psychosocial, Sedentary lifestyle, Public transport and Health promotion. In her study, Focus group and Qualitative research is strongly linked to Social support, which falls under the umbrella field of Psychosocial.

Her Environmental health research includes elements of Socioeconomic status, Recreation and Walkability. The concepts of her Psychological intervention study are interwoven with issues in Intervention and Public health. Benedicte Deforche is exploring Overweight as part of her Obesity and Body mass index and Overweight studies.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Gerontology (43.22%)
  • Environmental health (40.15%)
  • Psychological intervention (31.97%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Applied psychology (16.62%)
  • Psychological intervention (31.97%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Benedicte Deforche spends much of her time researching Cycling, Applied psychology, Psychological intervention, Demography and Qualitative research. Her study looks at the relationship between Applied psychology and topics such as Recreation, which overlap with Physical fitness. She interconnects Active living, Developmental psychology, Social environment, Palliative care and Socioeconomic status in the investigation of issues within Psychological intervention.

Her Qualitative research research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Social relation, Social influence and Content analysis. Her study looks at the intersection of Environmental studies and topics like Social determinants of health with Gerontology. Gerontology is frequently linked to Survey data collection in her study.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Public open space characteristics influencing adolescents' use and physical activity: A systematic literature review of qualitative and quantitative studies. (35 citations)
  • Public open space characteristics influencing adolescents' use and physical activity: A systematic literature review of qualitative and quantitative studies. (35 citations)
  • Environmental influences on older adults’ transportation cycling experiences : a study using bike-along interviews (30 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Law
  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics

Benedicte Deforche focuses on Cycling, Psychological intervention, Applied psychology, Demography and Public open space. In her study, Computer-assisted web interviewing is inextricably linked to Socioeconomic status, which falls within the broad field of Psychological intervention. Her Applied psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Qualitative research and Recreation.

Her Demography study incorporates themes from Latent class model, Fat intake, Social environment, Healthy eating and Total fat. Her Active ageing research incorporates themes from Street network and Walkability. In her papers, Benedicte Deforche integrates diverse fields, such as Walkability and Context.
