Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Law

His primary areas of study are Global health, Gerontology, Mortality rate, Epidemiology and Years of potential life lost. George A. Mensah combines subjects such as Environmental health, Life expectancy, Maternal death, Developing country and Disease burden with his study of Global health. His Gerontology study incorporates themes from Body mass index and Public health, Health care, Population health.

He interconnects Young adult, Cause of death, Secular variation, Pediatrics and Child mortality in the investigation of issues within Mortality rate. His Epidemiology research incorporates themes from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, Disease and Incidence. The Years of potential life lost study combines topics in areas such as Disability-adjusted life year, Verbal autopsy and Communicable disease.

His most cited work include:

  • Global and regional mortality from 235 causes of death for 20 age groups in 1990 and 2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (8830 citations)
  • A comparative risk assessment of burden of disease and injury attributable to 67 risk factors and risk factor clusters in 21 regions, 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (7776 citations)
  • Global, regional, and national prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adults during 1980–2013: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (6893 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Public health, Disease, Gerontology, Environmental health and Internal medicine. His Disease study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Stroke, Epidemiology, Pediatrics and Intensive care medicine. His studies deal with areas such as Psychological intervention, Mortality rate, Ethnic group and Population health as well as Gerontology.

His Environmental health research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Global health, Health policy, Disease burden and Risk factor. His work carried out in the field of Global health brings together such families of science as Developing country and Life expectancy, Years of potential life lost. His Internal medicine research includes elements of Endocrinology, Surgery and Cardiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Public health (20.39%)
  • Disease (19.53%)
  • Gerontology (18.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • MEDLINE (10.30%)
  • Disease (19.53%)
  • Public health (20.39%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include MEDLINE, Disease, Public health, Environmental health and Health equity. His Disease research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Stroke, Heart failure, Incidence and Diabetes mellitus. His work deals with themes such as Global health, Socioeconomic status, Disease burden and Particulate air pollution, which intersect with Environmental health.

His Global health study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Years of potential life lost, Population health and Health policy. His study in Years of potential life lost is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Injury prevention and Case fatality rate. The concepts of his Bioethics study are interwoven with issues in Ethnic group and Gerontology.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global Burden of Cardiovascular Diseases and Risk Factors, 1990–2019: Update From the GBD 2019 Study (83 citations)
  • The Global Burden of Cardiovascular Diseases and Risk Factors: 2020 and Beyond (76 citations)
  • Reducing the Clinical and Public Health Burden of Familial Hypercholesterolemia: A Global Call to Action (53 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Law

George A. Mensah mainly focuses on Disease burden, Disease, Cardiology, Internal medicine and Intensive care medicine. His Disease burden research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Government, Risk factor, Population health and Environmental health. The various areas that George A. Mensah examines in his Environmental health study include Population ageing, Relative risk, Epidemiology and Cohort study.

His research integrates issues of Stroke, Routine practice and Data science in his study of Disease. George A. Mensah focuses mostly in the field of Stroke, narrowing it down to matters related to Pediatrics and, in some cases, Incidence. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Global health, Public health, Health policy and Years of potential life lost.
