Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics
  • Gene

David B. Allison mostly deals with Obesity, Internal medicine, Body mass index, Endocrinology and Gerontology. His study looks at the intersection of Obesity and topics like Risk factor with Weight management. His Internal medicine research focuses on Diabetes mellitus and how it relates to Disease.

His Body mass index study incorporates themes from Schizophrenia, Psychiatry, Demography, Weight gain and Hazard ratio. His Endocrinology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Regulation of gene expression and Gene expression. In his study, Energy is strongly linked to MEDLINE, which falls under the umbrella field of Gerontology.

His most cited work include:

  • A Potential Decline in Life Expectancy in the United States in the 21st Century (2292 citations)
  • Years of Life Lost Due to Obesity (1990 citations)
  • Antipsychotic-Induced Weight Gain: A Comprehensive Research Synthesis (1977 citations)

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

His main research concerns Obesity, Internal medicine, Body mass index, Gerontology and Endocrinology. His Obesity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Weight gain, Demography and Environmental health. He studies Waist which is a part of Body mass index.

Much of his study explores Gerontology relationship to Public health. His study of Insulin is a part of Endocrinology. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Weight loss, focusing on Randomized controlled trial and, on occasion, Physical therapy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Obesity (28.86%)
  • Internal medicine (18.60%)
  • Body mass index (17.36%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Obesity (28.86%)
  • Randomized controlled trial (7.89%)
  • Internal medicine (18.60%)

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

David B. Allison mainly focuses on Obesity, Randomized controlled trial, Internal medicine, MEDLINE and Endocrinology. His Obesity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Body mass index, Gerontology, Demography, Meta-analysis and Animal science. His biological study focuses on Overweight.

His studies in Demography integrate themes in fields like Weight gain, Waist and Social status. The Randomized controlled trial study combines topics in areas such as Physical therapy, Clinical trial and Weight loss. His Endocrinology study combines topics in areas such as Inflammation and Longevity.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Senolytics improve physical function and increase lifespan in old age (517 citations)
  • Senolytics improve physical function and increase lifespan in old age (517 citations)
  • Caloric restriction improves health and survival of rhesus monkeys. (329 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics
  • Gene

His primary areas of study are Obesity, Demography, Internal medicine, Longevity and Endocrinology. David B. Allison has included themes like Energy balance, Calorie, Gerontology, Energy expenditure and Meta-analysis in his Obesity study. His studies deal with areas such as Body mass index, Body fatness, Waist, Socioeconomic status and Social status as well as Demography.

His work on Overweight as part of general Body mass index study is frequently connected to Computer algorithm, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Quercetin and Oncology. His Longevity research also works with subjects such as

  • Ageing and related Senescence,
  • Physiology that intertwine with fields like Adipose tissue, Adipocyte and Fasting glucose.
