Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Statistics

His main research concerns Risk factor, Internal medicine, Case-control study, Relative risk and Odds ratio. The concepts of his Risk factor study are interwoven with issues in Polyunsaturated fat and Cohort study. His work carried out in the field of Internal medicine brings together such families of science as Endocrinology and Oncology.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Cruciferous vegetables, Calorie, Colorectal cancer, Physiology and Saturated fat in addition to Case-control study. His Relative risk research integrates issues from Cancer, Breast cancer, Nuclear medicine and Environmental health. His studies deal with areas such as Surgery, Incidence, Demography, Gynecology and Prostate cancer as well as Odds ratio.

His most cited work include:

  • Alcohol and breast cancer in women: a pooled analysis of cohort studies. (828 citations)
  • Dietary Factors and Risk of Breast Cancer: Combined Analysis of 12 Case—Control Studies (661 citations)
  • Prostate Cancer in Relation to Diet, Physical Activity, and Body Size in Blacks, Whites, and Asians in the United States and Canada (613 citations)

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

Geoffrey R. Howe focuses on Internal medicine, Risk factor, Case-control study, Epidemiology and Cohort study. The Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Endocrinology and Oncology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Odds ratio, Relative risk, Demography, Physiology and Saturated fat.

As a part of the same scientific study, Geoffrey R. Howe usually deals with the Odds ratio, concentrating on Surgery and frequently concerns with Quartile. His research integrates issues of Attributable risk and Confounding in his study of Relative risk. His study in Cohort study is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Environmental health, Hazard ratio, Record linkage, Prospective cohort study and Cohort.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (34.87%)
  • Risk factor (27.69%)
  • Case-control study (26.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2010)?

  • Cohort study (26.15%)
  • Environmental health (22.05%)
  • Internal medicine (34.87%)

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

Geoffrey R. Howe mostly deals with Cohort study, Environmental health, Internal medicine, Cancer and Prospective cohort study. His Cohort study study combines topics in areas such as Thyroid, Thyroid cancer, Relative risk, Confidence interval and Cohort. While the research belongs to areas of Relative risk, Geoffrey R. Howe spends his time largely on the problem of Demography, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Cancer risk.

His Environmental health study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Odds ratio, Longitudinal study, Epidemiology, Cross-sectional study and Risk factor. The study incorporates disciplines such as Glycemic load, Endocrinology and Oncology in addition to Internal medicine. Geoffrey R. Howe does research in Cancer, focusing on Breast cancer specifically.

Between 2002 and 2010, his most popular works were:

  • The 15-Country Collaborative Study of Cancer Risk among Radiation Workers in the Nuclear Industry: Estimates of Radiation-Related Cancer Risks (537 citations)
  • Arsenic Exposure from Drinking Water and Risk of Premalignant Skin Lesions in Bangladesh: Baseline Results from the Health Effects of Arsenic Longitudinal Study (234 citations)
  • Health Effects of Arsenic Longitudinal Study (HEALS): description of a multidisciplinary epidemiologic investigation. (224 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Pathology

His primary areas of investigation include Cohort study, Environmental health, Epidemiology, Risk factor and Cancer. His studies in Cohort study integrate themes in fields like Prospective cohort study and Cohort. His Environmental health study incorporates themes from Odds ratio and Gerontology.

His study looks at the relationship between Epidemiology and fields such as Surgery, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. Geoffrey R. Howe studied Cancer and Nuclear medicine that intersect with Thyroid cancer, Relative risk, Demography and Thyroid. Relative risk is a subfield of Confidence interval that Geoffrey R. Howe investigates.
