Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Statistics

Gail M. Williams mostly deals with Pregnancy, Cohort study, Pediatrics, Psychiatry and Longitudinal study. The concepts of her Pregnancy study are interwoven with issues in Body mass index, Prospective cohort study and Obstetrics. Her studies in Pediatrics integrate themes in fields like Offspring, Pneumonia, Young adult, Demography and Asthma.

Gail M. Williams combines subjects such as Global health and Poisson regression with her study of Demography. The study incorporates disciplines such as Injury prevention and Clinical psychology in addition to Psychiatry. Her Longitudinal study study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Developmental psychology, Mental health and Marital status.

Her most cited work include:

  • The global burden of low back pain: estimates from the Global Burden of Disease 2010 study (1546 citations)
  • A systematic review of the global prevalence of low back pain (1423 citations)
  • Daily sunscreen application and betacarotene supplementation in prevention of basal-cell and squamous-cell carcinomas of the skin: a randomised controlled trial. (734 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Demography, Pregnancy, Environmental health, Psychiatry and Longitudinal study. She has researched Demography in several fields, including Odds ratio, Body mass index, Obesity, Epidemiology and Gerontology. Her study connects Veterinary medicine and Epidemiology.

Her work deals with themes such as Prospective cohort study, Pediatrics, Cohort study and Cohort, which intersect with Pregnancy. Her Environmental health study combines topics in areas such as Schistosomiasis, Air pollution and Public health. Her Psychiatry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Young adult and Clinical psychology.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Demography (19.33%)
  • Pregnancy (15.42%)
  • Environmental health (14.15%)

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Heat Wave and Mortality: A Multicountry, Multicommunity Study. (161 citations)
  • Estimating spatiotemporal distribution of PM1 concentrations in China with satellite remote sensing, meteorology, and land use information (92 citations)
  • Effects of ambient PM1 air pollution on daily emergency hospital visits in China: an epidemiological study (85 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Statistics

Her main research concerns Environmental health, Psychiatry, Relative risk, Schistosomiasis and Schistosoma japonicum. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Young adult, Longitudinal study and Sexual abuse, Psychological abuse. Her Young adult study often links to related topics such as Pregnancy.

Her Pregnancy research includes elements of Population based, Prospective cohort study and Depression. Her research integrates issues of Distributed lag, Demography, Poisson regression and Environmental exposure in her study of Relative risk.
