Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Obesity
  • Psychiatry

His scientific interests lie mostly in Obesity, Weight loss, Physical therapy, Body mass index and Randomized controlled trial. He studies Overweight which is a part of Obesity. His Weight loss study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Internal medicine.

His work in the fields of Physical therapy, such as Physical exercise, Aerobic exercise and Strength training, intersects with other areas such as Set. His work deals with themes such as Severity of illness, Type 2 diabetes, Clinical psychology and Clinical significance, which intersect with Body mass index. His work in Randomized controlled trial tackles topics such as Clinical trial which are related to areas like Analysis of variance and Atkins diet.

His most cited work include:

  • A randomized trial of a low-carbohydrate diet for obesity. (1461 citations)
  • Look AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes): design and methods for a clinical trial of weight loss for the prevention of cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetes. (575 citations)
  • Primary care physicians' attitudes about obesity and its treatment. (543 citations)

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

Gary D. Foster mainly focuses on Weight loss, Obesity, Internal medicine, Physical therapy and Body mass index. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Intervention, Randomized controlled trial and Animal science. Particularly relevant to Overweight is his body of work in Obesity.

His research in Overweight focuses on subjects like Environmental health, which are connected to Public health. Gary D. Foster interconnects Endocrinology and Cardiology in the investigation of issues within Internal medicine. His Body mass index research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Anthropometry and Prospective cohort study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Weight loss (58.94%)
  • Obesity (59.35%)
  • Internal medicine (26.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Weight loss (58.94%)
  • Obesity (59.35%)
  • Physical therapy (25.20%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Weight loss, Obesity, Physical therapy, Randomized controlled trial and Weight management. He has researched Weight loss in several fields, including Body mass index, Diabetes mellitus and Psychological intervention. His Obesity research includes elements of Weight gain and Gerontology.

His research integrates issues of Sleep apnea, Anthropometry and Type 2 diabetes in his study of Physical therapy. While the research belongs to areas of Randomized controlled trial, Gary D. Foster spends his time largely on the problem of Intervention, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Environmental health and Weight control. His research investigates the connection with Internal medicine and areas like Endocrinology which intersect with concerns in Continuous positive airway pressure.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • CPAP, Weight Loss, or Both for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (277 citations)
  • Effect of liraglutide 3.0 mg in individuals with obesity and moderate or severe obstructive sleep apnea: the SCALE Sleep Apnea randomized clinical trial. (116 citations)
  • Placement and promotion strategies to increase sales of healthier products in supermarkets in low-income, ethnically diverse neighborhoods: a randomized controlled trial (93 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Obesity
  • Psychiatry

His primary scientific interests are in Weight loss, Obesity, Physical therapy, Randomized controlled trial and Body mass index. His Weight loss study is related to the wider topic of Internal medicine. His Obesity research includes themes of Intervention, Weight gain and Childbirth.

His Physical therapy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Overweight and Waist. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gait, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Diabetes mellitus, Type 2 diabetes and Pediatrics in addition to Randomized controlled trial. His Body mass index research incorporates themes from Cross-sectional study and Prospective cohort study.
