Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Obesity
  • Diabetes mellitus

His scientific interests lie mostly in Obesity, Gerontology, Body mass index, Physical therapy and Childhood obesity. His Obesity research includes elements of Nutritional status and Family medicine. His Gerontology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Global health, Overweight and Epidemiology.

His study looks at the relationship between Global health and fields such as Young adult, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. Endocrinology and Internal medicine are the main topics of his Body mass index study. His work carried out in the field of Childhood obesity brings together such families of science as Surgery, Pediatrics and Public health.

His most cited work include:

  • Trends in adult body-mass index in 200 countries from 1975 to 2014: A pooled analysis of 1698 population-based measurement studies with 19.2 million participants (2278 citations)
  • Worldwide trends in body-mass index, underweight, overweight, and obesity from 1975 to 2016: a pooled analysis of 2416 population-based measurement studies in 128·9 million children, adolescents, and adults (2180 citations)
  • Worldwide trends in diabetes since 1980: a pooled analysis of 751 population-based studies with 4.4 million participants (1737 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Obesity, Body mass index, Endocrinology and Environmental health. His work in Obesity tackles topics such as Gerontology which are related to areas like Epidemiology. Many of his research projects under Body mass index are closely connected to Cross-sectional study and Percentile with Cross-sectional study and Percentile, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

His research integrates issues of Anthropometry and Confounding in his study of Endocrinology. His study ties his expertise on Public health together with the subject of Environmental health. Kurt Widhalm has researched Childhood obesity in several fields, including Surgery and MEDLINE.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (33.57%)
  • Obesity (30.07%)
  • Body mass index (28.67%)

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

  • Obesity (30.07%)
  • Body mass index (28.67%)
  • Environmental health (14.69%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Obesity, Body mass index, Environmental health, Internal medicine and Mediterranean diet. The various areas that Kurt Widhalm examines in his Obesity study include Genetic risk and Public health. His specific area of interest is Body mass index, where he studies Overweight.

His work deals with themes such as Biomedical sciences, Polyunsaturated fatty acid, Nutritional biomarkers, SOCIOECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED and Healthy eating, which intersect with Environmental health. His Internal medicine research incorporates themes from Diabetes mellitus, Endocrinology and Gastroenterology. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Underweight, Global health and Epidemiology is strongly linked to Double burden.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Current Guidelines for Obesity Prevention in Childhood and Adolescence. (32 citations)
  • Contributions of mean and shape of blood pressure distribution to worldwide trends and variations in raised blood pressure: a pooled analysis of 1018 population-based measurement studies with 88.6 million participants (32 citations)
  • From conception to infancy - early risk factors for childhood obesity. (28 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Obesity
  • Diabetes mellitus

Kurt Widhalm spends much of his time researching Environmental health, Body mass index, Obesity, Metabolic syndrome and Biomedical sciences. His studies deal with areas such as Polyunsaturated fatty acid, Nutritional biomarkers, Food intake, Vitamin D and neurology and Vitamin C as well as Environmental health. With his scientific publications, his incorporates both Body mass index and Montenegro.

His work in the fields of Obesity, such as Childhood obesity, intersects with other areas such as Promotion. His Metabolic syndrome study incorporates themes from Placebo and Physiology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gastroenterology and Exenatide in addition to Internal medicine.
