  • An Ecological Perspective on Health Promotion Programs (4625 citations)
  • Health Behavior and Health Education (2107 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Environmental health, Gerontology, Psychological intervention, Public health and Health promotion. Her research in Environmental health tackles topics such as Skin cancer which are related to areas like Sunburn. Her study in Gerontology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Demography, Social support and Obesity.

Her Psychological intervention research includes elements of Intervention, Cancer screening, Randomized controlled trial and Family medicine. Her work deals with themes such as Nutrition Education and Epidemiology, which intersect with Public health. Karen Glanz works mostly in the field of Health promotion, limiting it down to concerns involving Health education and, occasionally, Behavior change.

Karen Glanz spends much of her time researching Environmental health, Gerontology, Psychological intervention, Demography and Physical therapy. Her Environmental health study deals with Walkability intersecting with Audit. Her research integrates issues of Observational study, Sedentary lifestyle, Obesity, Psychosocial and Social ecological model in her study of Gerontology.

Her Psychological intervention research also works with subjects such as

  • Intervention, which have a strong connection to Skin cancer,
  • Family medicine that intertwine with fields like Alternative medicine. The study incorporates disciplines such as Incidence, Socioeconomic status, Median income and Actigraphy in addition to Demography. Her Physical therapy study combines topics in areas such as Randomized controlled trial, Asthma and Weight loss.

Between 2013 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Home food environment in relation to children’s diet quality and weight status (190 citations)
  • Health behavior : theory, research, and practice (181 citations)
  • Contribution of streetscape audits to explanation of physical activity in four age groups based on the Microscale Audit of Pedestrian Streetscapes (MAPS). (117 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Public health
  • Social psychology

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental health, Gerontology, Walkability, Demography and Physical therapy. Karen Glanz interconnects Psychological intervention, Cross-sectional study, Neighborhood walkability, Total physical activity and Repeated measures design in the investigation of issues within Environmental health. Her Psychological intervention study incorporates themes from Intervention, Intervention level, Cancer and Systematic review.

Her Gerontology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Observational study, Food environment, Sedentary lifestyle, Obesity and Social support. Her studies deal with areas such as Weight loss, Randomized controlled trial, Evidence-based medicine, Uncontrolled asthma and Content analysis as well as Physical therapy.
