Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Cancer

Environmental exposure, Pregnancy, Internal medicine, Pediatrics and Physiology are his primary areas of study. In his research, Howard Hu undertakes multidisciplinary study on Environmental exposure and Risk assessment. Howard Hu has included themes like Lead exposure, Anthropometry, Cohort study and Environmental health in his Pregnancy study.

His Internal medicine research incorporates themes from Endocrinology and Cardiology. His Pediatrics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Fetus, Prospective cohort study, Psychomotor learning and Child development. The Relative risk study combines topics in areas such as Years of potential life lost and Disease burden.

His most cited work include:

  • 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 age-sex specific all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 240 causes of death, 1990-2013: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (4387 citations)
  • Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 79 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks in 188 countries, 1990–2013 : a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (1308 citations)

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

Howard Hu mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Lead exposure, Endocrinology, Environmental health and Environmental exposure. The various areas that Howard Hu examines in his Internal medicine study include Blood lead level and Cardiology. His Lead exposure study also includes

  • Gerontology most often made with reference to Normative,
  • Prospective cohort study most often made with reference to Pediatrics.

His Endocrinology study deals with Pregnancy intersecting with Cohort study, Physiology and Obstetrics. His study in Environmental health is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Epidemiology and Public health. His studies in Environmental exposure integrate themes in fields like Cumulative Exposure and Lead poisoning.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (34.53%)
  • Lead exposure (22.08%)
  • Endocrinology (25.28%)

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

  • Environmental health (20.75%)
  • Pregnancy (21.89%)
  • Environmental exposure (21.51%)

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

Howard Hu mostly deals with Environmental health, Pregnancy, Environmental exposure, Internal medicine and Lead exposure. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Relative risk and Risk factor. His Pregnancy study combines topics in areas such as Young adult, Cohort study, Cohort and Obstetrics.

His Environmental exposure research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cross-sectional study, DNA methylation, Gerontology and Lead poisoning. His work carried out in the field of Internal medicine brings together such families of science as Endocrinology, Cumulative Exposure and Single-nucleotide polymorphism. His Lead exposure research includes themes of Demography, Cord blood and Normative.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global, regional, and national age-sex specific all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 240 causes of death, 1990-2013: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (4387 citations)
  • Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 79 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks in 188 countries, 1990–2013 : a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (1308 citations)
  • Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 84 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks for 195 countries and territories, 1990–2017 : a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 (1257 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Cancer

His primary scientific interests are in Environmental exposure, Environmental health, Pregnancy, Internal medicine and Cross-sectional study. The various areas that Howard Hu examines in his Environmental exposure study include Cohort study, Cohort, Pyrosequencing, Lead blood and Attention deficit. His research integrates issues of Relative risk, Epidemiology, Environmental monitoring and Risk factor in his study of Environmental health.

His biological study deals with issues like Disease burden, which deal with fields such as Life expectancy. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Endocrinology, Head injury, Lead poisoning and Bone lead. In his study, Verbal autopsy, Cause of death, Mortality rate and Child mortality is inextricably linked to Pediatrics, which falls within the broad field of Cross-sectional study.
