Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics
  • Disease

Keith P. West spends much of his time researching Vitamin, Pediatrics, Pregnancy, Micronutrient and Vitamin A deficiency. He studies Vitamin, namely Retinol. His work deals with themes such as Child mortality and Infant mortality, which intersect with Pediatrics.

His Pregnancy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Developing country and Anemia. His Micronutrient study combines topics in areas such as Riboflavin, Vitamin B12, Environmental health, Low birth weight and Iron deficiency. His Vitamin A deficiency study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Surgery and Malnutrition.

His most cited work include:

  • Impact of vitamin A supplementation on childhood mortality. A randomised controlled community trial. (551 citations)
  • Impact of vitamin A supplementation on childhood mortality. A randomised controlled community trial. (551 citations)
  • Double blind, cluster randomised trial of low dose supplementation with vitamin A or β carotene on mortality related to pregnancy in Nepal (439 citations)

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

Keith P. West mainly investigates Vitamin, Pediatrics, Environmental health, Pregnancy and Micronutrient. Keith P. West works mostly in the field of Vitamin, limiting it down to topics relating to Physiology and, in certain cases, Immunology. His work focuses on many connections between Pediatrics and other disciplines, such as Odds ratio, that overlap with his field of interest in Confidence interval.

His study on Environmental health also encompasses disciplines like

  • Malnutrition that connect with fields like Anthropometry and Demography,
  • Public health which connect with Developing country. His work carried out in the field of Retinol brings together such families of science as Surgery and Diarrhea. His research in Vitamin A deficiency is mostly concerned with Xerophthalmia.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Vitamin (33.53%)
  • Pediatrics (26.59%)
  • Environmental health (23.12%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Environmental health (23.12%)
  • Micronutrient (17.63%)
  • Malnutrition (14.74%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Environmental health, Micronutrient, Malnutrition, Demography and Anthropometry. His study in Environmental health is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Psychological intervention, Randomized controlled trial, Anemia and Nutritional status. His research in Micronutrient intersects with topics in Pregnancy, Prenatal care, Vitamin B12, Vitamin and Vitamin E.

The Pregnancy study combines topics in areas such as Family medicine and Obstetrics. All of his Vitamin and Retinol and Vitamin A deficiency investigations are sub-components of the entire Vitamin study. His Malnutrition research includes themes of Public health and Confidence interval.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Individual, household, and community level risk factors of stunting in children younger than 5 years: Findings from a national surveillance system in Nepal. (24 citations)
  • Early neonatal vitamin A supplementation and infant mortality: An individual participant data meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (17 citations)
  • A 10-Food Group Dietary Diversity Score Outperforms a 7-Food Group Score in Characterizing Seasonal Variability and Micronutrient Adequacy in Rural Zambian Children. (16 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Pathology
  • Statistics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Demography, Environmental health, Vitamin, Malnutrition and Wasting. His work on Food group as part of general Environmental health research is frequently linked to Food composition data, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. He studies Vitamin A deficiency, a branch of Vitamin.

His research in Vitamin A deficiency tackles topics such as Infant mortality which are related to areas like Pediatrics. His studies deal with areas such as Anthropometry, Socioeconomic status and Logistic regression as well as Malnutrition. His Wasting research integrates issues from Standard score, Breastfeeding and Underweight.
