Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Diabetes mellitus

Charles Agyemang focuses on Demography, Public health, Environmental health, Gerontology and Epidemiology. His Demography research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Body mass index, Odds ratio, Pediatrics and Blood pressure. His research in Public health focuses on subjects like Disease, which are connected to Poverty and Double burden.

His Gerontology research includes elements of Global health, Obesity and Health promotion. His studies in Global health integrate themes in fields like Young adult, Underweight and Childhood obesity. His Epidemiology research includes themes of Diabetes mellitus, Incidence and Per capita.

His most cited work include:

  • 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)
  • A century of trends in adult human height (1043 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Demography, Environmental health, Obesity, Gerontology and Diabetes mellitus. His Demography study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Odds ratio, Body mass index, Blood pressure, Confidence interval and Pediatrics. His Environmental health research focuses on Epidemiology and how it relates to Public health and Cohort study.

His work in the fields of Obesity, such as Overweight, intersects with other areas such as Cross-sectional study. His work on Gerontology is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Socioeconomic status. His research in Diabetes mellitus intersects with topics in Internal medicine and Disease.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Demography (41.85%)
  • Environmental health (20.92%)
  • Obesity (20.92%)

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

  • Demography (41.85%)
  • Obesity (20.92%)
  • Logistic regression (9.51%)

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

Demography, Obesity, Logistic regression, Odds ratio and Diabetes mellitus are his primary areas of study. Charles Agyemang interconnects Body mass index, Waist, Helius, Confidence interval and Type 2 diabetes in the investigation of issues within Demography. The various areas that he examines in his Body mass index study include Anthropometry, Epidemiology and Malnutrition.

His work deals with themes such as Disease risk, Acculturation and Environmental health, which intersect with Obesity. His Logistic regression study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Prospective cohort study and Disease. His Disease study which covers Blood pressure that intersects with Family history.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Sharpening the global focus on ethnicity and race in the time of COVID-19. (91 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)
  • Culture Matters in Communicating the Global Response to COVID-19. (10 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Diabetes mellitus

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Demography, Psychological intervention, Environmental health, Obesity and Public health. His Demography research incorporates themes from Body mass index, Waist, Logistic regression, Ethnicity race and Type 2 diabetes. His Body mass index research incorporates elements of Epidemiology, Life events, Psychosocial stress, Body weight and Malnutrition.

He combines subjects such as Primary prevention, Abdominal obesity, Acculturation and Cardiovascular risk factors with his study of Environmental health. His work carried out in the field of Obesity brings together such families of science as Food group, Food intake and Multicenter study. His work on Population health, Global health and Social determinants of health as part of general Public health study is frequently connected to Social distance and Public relations, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
