Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Cancer

His primary areas of investigation include Environmental health, Air pollution, Asthma, Internal medicine and Environmental exposure. His study in the field of Passive smoking is also linked to topics like Risk assessment. The various areas that John R. Balmes examines in his Air pollution study include Nitrogen dioxide, Pollutant, Indoor air quality, Particulates and Ozone.

His Asthma study combines topics in areas such as Exacerbation, Epidemiology, Retrospective cohort study and Cohort. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gastroenterology and Endocrinology in addition to Internal medicine. John R. Balmes has included themes like Cancer, Cancer prevention, Placebo and Surgery in his Lung cancer study.

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)
  • EFFECTS OF A COMBINATION OF BETA CAROTENE AND VITAMIN A ON LUNG CANCER AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE (3031 citations)
  • Risk Factors for Lung Cancer and for Intervention Effects in CARET, the Beta-Carotene and Retinol Efficacy Trial (1011 citations)

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

John R. Balmes mainly focuses on Environmental health, Air pollution, Asthma, Internal medicine and Environmental exposure. His research investigates the connection between Environmental health and topics such as Spirometry that intersect with problems in Vital capacity. His Air pollution research includes elements of Particulates, Pollutant, Air quality index and Indoor air quality.

His Asthma research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Respiratory disease, COPD and Cohort. His COPD research incorporates elements of Chronic bronchitis and Physical therapy. As a member of one scientific family, John R. Balmes mostly works in the field of Internal medicine, focusing on Surgery and, on occasion, Occupational medicine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental health (52.43%)
  • Air pollution (32.28%)
  • Asthma (29.10%)

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

  • Environmental health (52.43%)
  • Air pollution (32.28%)
  • Smoke (10.45%)

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

John R. Balmes spends much of his time researching Environmental health, Air pollution, Smoke, Public health and Internal medicine. He studies Environmental health, focusing on Passive smoking in particular. John R. Balmes combines subjects such as Psychological intervention, Pollutant, Air quality index, Stove and Indoor air quality with his study of Air pollution.

His Stove research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Exposure factor and Risk factor. The various areas that John R. Balmes examines in his Smoke study include Particulates and Subclinical infection. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Crossover study and Cardiology.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Air Pollution and Noncommunicable Diseases: A Review by the Forum of International Respiratory Societies' Environmental Committee, Part 2: Air Pollution and Organ Systems. (175 citations)
  • Air Pollution and Noncommunicable Diseases: A Review by the Forum of International Respiratory Societies’ Environmental Committee, Part 1: The Damaging Effects of Air Pollution (119 citations)
  • The Occupational Burden of Nonmalignant Respiratory Diseases. An Official American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society Statement. (79 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Cancer

John R. Balmes mainly investigates Environmental health, Air pollution, Internal medicine, Passive smoking and Air quality index. John R. Balmes integrates Environmental health with Child health in his research. His Air pollution research includes elements of Psychological intervention, COPD, Particulates and Diabetes mellitus.

His Internal medicine research focuses on Allergy and how it connects with Environmental exposure, Biomarker, Regression analysis and Spirometry. His Environmental exposure research integrates issues from Odds ratio, Vital capacity and Asthma. His Passive smoking research includes themes of Cross-sectional study and Respiratory system.
