Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Type 2 diabetes

David J. Pettitt mostly deals with Diabetes mellitus, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Obesity and Incidence. His studies in Diabetes mellitus integrate themes in fields like Offspring, Pregnancy and Body mass index. His Internal medicine research incorporates elements of Dentistry and MEDLINE.

His Insulin resistance, Impaired glucose tolerance and Creatinine study in the realm of Endocrinology interacts with subjects such as Chromosome 20. His research in Incidence intersects with topics in Odds ratio, Ethnic group and Confidence interval. His Type 2 diabetes research incorporates themes from Genetics, Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

His most cited work include:

  • Summary and recommendations of the Fifth International Workshop-Conference on Gestational Diabetes Mellitus. (1504 citations)
  • Type 2 diabetes among North adolescents: An epidemiologic health perspective (967 citations)
  • Intrauterine exposure to diabetes conveys risks for type 2 diabetes and obesity: a study of discordant sibships. (931 citations)

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

David J. Pettitt mainly investigates Diabetes mellitus, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Obesity and Type 2 diabetes. The concepts of his Diabetes mellitus study are interwoven with issues in Body mass index, Pregnancy and Incidence. His work deals with themes such as Pediatrics and Obstetrics, which intersect with Pregnancy.

His studies deal with areas such as Offspring, Birth weight and Odds ratio as well as Endocrinology. His Obesity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Genotype, Physical exercise, Gerontology and Pima indians. His work carried out in the field of Type 2 diabetes brings together such families of science as Physical therapy and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Diabetes mellitus (79.12%)
  • Internal medicine (66.48%)
  • Endocrinology (52.75%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2020)?

  • Diabetes mellitus (79.12%)
  • Internal medicine (66.48%)
  • Type 2 diabetes (18.68%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Diabetes mellitus, Internal medicine, Type 2 diabetes, Type 1 diabetes and Endocrinology. His Diabetes mellitus research includes themes of Pregnancy, Birth weight, Obesity, Young adult and Pediatrics. His work investigates the relationship between Pregnancy and topics such as Obstetrics that intersect with problems in Fetal macrosomia, Risk factor, Gestation, Gynecology and Health information.

His study in Type 2 diabetes is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Incidence, Research design, Confidence interval, Glycemic and Physical therapy. The various areas that he examines in his Type 1 diabetes study include Body mass index and Television watching. His work on Insulin, Insulin resistance, Screen time and Blood lipids as part of his general Endocrinology study is frequently connected to Names of the days of the week, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

Between 2006 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Summary and recommendations of the Fifth International Workshop-Conference on Gestational Diabetes Mellitus. (1504 citations)
  • Incidence of diabetes in youth in the United States. (783 citations)
  • Incidence Trends of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes among Youths, 2002–2012 (587 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Type 2 diabetes

David J. Pettitt focuses on Diabetes mellitus, Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Research design, Young adult, Incidence and Pediatrics in addition to Diabetes mellitus. The Type 2 diabetes study combines topics in areas such as Body mass index, Overweight, Obesity, Glycemic and Physical therapy.

David J. Pettitt interconnects Odds ratio, Dyslipidemia and Cross-sectional study in the investigation of issues within Body mass index. His Endocrinology study combines topics in areas such as Gestational diabetes, Pregnancy, Gestation and Epidemiology. His study looks at the intersection of Gestational diabetes and topics like Birth weight with Risk factor, Obstetrics, Childhood obesity, Family medicine and Interim.
