Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Endocrinology

Claude Bouchard mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Obesity, Body mass index and Adipose tissue. His Internal medicine study often links to related topics such as Diabetes mellitus. His Obesity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Body weight, Genetics and Gerontology.

As a member of one scientific family, Claude Bouchard mostly works in the field of Gerontology, focusing on Physical fitness and, on occasion, Cardiorespiratory fitness. Claude Bouchard has researched Body mass index in several fields, including Demography, Surgery, Cohort and Metabolic syndrome. The Adipose tissue study combines topics in areas such as Abdominal obesity, Menopause, Blood plasma and Abdomen.

His most cited work include:

  • Physical Activity and Public Health: A Recommendation From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American College of Sports Medicine (6534 citations)
  • Effects of bariatric surgery on mortality in Swedish obese subjects. (3551 citations)
  • Clinical guidelines on the identification, evaluation, and treatment of overweight and obesity in adults: Executive summary (2372 citations)

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

Claude Bouchard mainly investigates Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Obesity, Body mass index and Genetics. Claude Bouchard frequently studies issues relating to Genotype and Internal medicine. Claude Bouchard has included themes like Allele and Polymorphism in his Endocrinology study.

As a part of the same scientific study, Claude Bouchard usually deals with the Obesity, concentrating on Gerontology and frequently concerns with Physical fitness. His Body mass index research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Demography and Risk factor. His Demography research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Anthropometry and Heritability.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (47.40%)
  • Endocrinology (41.48%)
  • Obesity (24.11%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (47.40%)
  • Genetics (18.02%)
  • Endocrinology (41.48%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, Genetics, Endocrinology, Obesity and Genome-wide association study. His Internal medicine study incorporates themes from Regular exercise and Cardiology. He studied Genetics and Blood pressure that intersect with Risk factor.

Claude Bouchard regularly ties together related areas like Minor allele frequency in his Endocrinology studies. Claude Bouchard works mostly in the field of Obesity, limiting it down to topics relating to Gerontology and, in certain cases, Physical fitness, as a part of the same area of interest. His work on Waist as part of general Body mass index research is often related to Context, thus linking different fields of science.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Defining the role of common variation in the genomic and biological architecture of adult human height (1407 citations)
  • Bariatric Surgery and Long-term Cardiovascular Events (1082 citations)
  • Novel genetic associations for blood pressure identified via gene-alcohol interaction in up to 570K individuals across multiple ancestries (799 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Genetics

Claude Bouchard focuses on Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Internal medicine, Obesity and Body mass index. His Genetics research focuses on Inbreeding and how it relates to Haplotype, Consanguinity, Dominance and Evolutionary biology. His Internal medicine research integrates issues from Cross-sectional study and Endocrinology.

His Endocrinology study combines topics in areas such as Transgene, Regular exercise and Gene expression profiling. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Longitudinal study, Gerontology, Genetic predisposition, Adipose tissue and Pediatrics. His study in Body mass index is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Weight gain, Anthropometry, FTO gene and Hazard ratio.
