Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Public health
  • Disease

Her primary scientific interests are in Environmental health, Gerontology, Public health, Global health and Body mass index. Her study in Environmental health is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Psychological intervention, Breast feeding, Slum, Breastfeeding and Child mortality. Her Gerontology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Pooled analysis, Epidemiology, Diabetes mellitus, Life expectancy and Risk factor.

Her Global health research integrates issues from Population based, Population growth, Blood pressure and Kidney disease. Her work on Underweight and Overweight as part of her general Body mass index study is frequently connected to Biological sciences and Quarter, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. Her Underweight research includes themes of Young adult and Childhood obesity.

Her most cited work include:

  • Trends in adult body-mass index in 200 countries from 1975 to 2014: A pooled analysis of 1698 population-based measurement studies with 19.2 million participants (2278 citations)
  • Worldwide trends in body-mass index, underweight, overweight, and obesity from 1975 to 2016: a pooled analysis of 2416 population-based measurement studies in 128·9 million children, adolescents, and adults (2180 citations)
  • Worldwide trends in diabetes since 1980: a pooled analysis of 751 population-based studies with 4.4 million participants (1737 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental health, Public health, Slum, Health care and Epidemiology. Her Environmental health study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Psychological intervention, Overweight, Obesity, Gerontology and Cross-sectional study. Her Gerontology research includes elements of Global health and Body mass index.

Her research integrates issues of Verbal autopsy and Disease in her study of Public health. The Slum study combines topics in areas such as Poverty, Urbanization and Developing country. Her Epidemiology study deals with Cause of death intersecting with Poisson regression and Young adult.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental health (39.43%)
  • Public health (28.57%)
  • Slum (18.29%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Environmental health (39.43%)
  • Body mass index (10.29%)
  • Health care (13.71%)

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

Catherine Kyobutungi mostly deals with Environmental health, Body mass index, Health care, Public health and Slum. Catherine Kyobutungi combines subjects such as Psychological intervention, Social determinants of health and Cause of death with her study of Environmental health. Her work carried out in the field of Body mass index brings together such families of science as Obesity, Cohort and Malnutrition.

Her studies in Public health integrate themes in fields like Odds ratio, Sickle cell trait and Malaria. As a part of the same scientific family, she mostly works in the field of Slum, focusing on Poverty and, on occasion, Per capita and Socioeconomic status. Her Underweight research focuses on Epidemiology and how it connects with Double burden and Global health.

Between 2019 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Impact of the societal response to COVID-19 on access to healthcare for non-COVID-19 health issues in slum communities of Bangladesh, Kenya, Nigeria and Pakistan: results of pre-COVID and COVID-19 lockdown stakeholder engagements. (36 citations)
  • Height and body-mass index trajectories of school-aged children and adolescents from 1985 to 2019 in 200 countries and territories: a pooled analysis of 2181 population-based studies with 65 million participants (14 citations)
  • Need for an Integrated Deprived Area “Slum” Mapping System (IDEAMAPS) in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) (10 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Public health
  • Disease

Catherine Kyobutungi mostly deals with Environmental health, Observational study, Slum, Public health and Cohort. Her Environmental health study combines topics in areas such as Relative risk, Cause of death, Social determinants of health, Attributable risk and Proportional hazards model. Her Observational study study incorporates themes from Grey literature, Descriptive statistics, Cervical cancer and Oncology.

Her research in Slum intersects with topics in Poverty and Census. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Odds ratio, Sickle cell trait and Malaria. Her Cohort study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Framingham Risk Score, Disease risk, Primary care and Cvd risk.
