Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Public health
  • Social psychology

Carol Maher focuses on Gerontology, Cross-sectional study, Physical therapy, Overweight and Sedentary lifestyle. His Gerontology research includes elements of Psychological intervention, Sedentary time, Public health, Health promotion and Childhood obesity. The study incorporates disciplines such as Actigraphy, Bedtime, Screen time, Physical activity level and Pediatrics in addition to Cross-sectional study.

His Cerebral palsy study, which is part of a larger body of work in Physical therapy, is frequently linked to Health outcomes, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work deals with themes such as Socioeconomic status and Cohort study, which intersect with Overweight. His Sedentary lifestyle research incorporates themes from Odds ratio, Young adult and National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

His most cited work include:

  • Evidence that the prevalence of childhood overweight is plateauing: Data from nine countries (449 citations)
  • Are health behavior change interventions that use online social networks effective? A systematic review. (401 citations)
  • The validity of consumer-level, activity monitors in healthy adults worn in free-living conditions: a cross-sectional study (314 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Physical therapy, Gerontology, Childhood obesity, Psychological intervention and Screen time. His work in Physical therapy addresses issues such as Intervention, which are connected to fields such as Social network. His Gerontology study incorporates themes from Physical fitness, Longitudinal study, Sedentary behavior, Public health and Socioeconomic status.

The various areas that Carol Maher examines in his Childhood obesity study include Cross-sectional study, Sedentary time and Waist. Carol Maher combines subjects such as Odds ratio and Sedentary lifestyle with his study of Cross-sectional study. His Psychological intervention research integrates issues from Social psychology, Behavior change, Applied psychology, Health promotion and Social media.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Physical therapy (25.64%)
  • Gerontology (23.08%)
  • Childhood obesity (18.46%)

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

  • Gerontology (23.08%)
  • Physical therapy (25.64%)
  • Childhood obesity (18.46%)

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

Carol Maher focuses on Gerontology, Physical therapy, Childhood obesity, Psychological intervention and Screen time. His studies in Gerontology integrate themes in fields like Anxiety, Physical education, Behaviour change and Health promotion. The Physical therapy study combines topics in areas such as Intervention and Osteoarthritis.

He has researched Childhood obesity in several fields, including Cross-sectional study, Sedentary time, Human Development Index and Odds ratio. His Psychological intervention study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Activity tracker, Public health, Social cognitive theory, Waist and Subgroup analysis. His Screen time research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Parental education, Dietary pattern and School age child.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Compositional data analysis for physical activity, sedentary time and sleep research. (137 citations)
  • Can Smartphone Apps Increase Physical Activity? Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. (88 citations)
  • The compositional isotemporal substitution model: A method for estimating changes in a health outcome for reallocation of time between sleep, physical activity and sedentary behaviour. (82 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Public health
  • Health care

His primary scientific interests are in Childhood obesity, Gerontology, Physical therapy, Psychological intervention and Overweight. His research integrates issues of Developmental psychology, School age child, Compositional data and Health indicator in his study of Childhood obesity. His study in Gerontology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Screen time, Physical fitness and Waist–hip ratio.

In the field of Physical therapy, his study on Cardiorespiratory fitness overlaps with subjects such as Sitting. As part of one scientific family, Carol Maher deals mainly with the area of Psychological intervention, narrowing it down to issues related to the Activity tracker, and often Health promotion and Social media. He has included themes like Emotional eating, Multilevel model, Epidemiological transition and Quality of life in his Overweight study.
