Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Disease

His primary areas of study are Internal medicine, Surgery, Osteoporosis, Incidence and Epidemiology. His Internal medicine research integrates issues from Gastroenterology and Endocrinology. L. Joseph Melton has researched Surgery in several fields, including Hip fracture and Cohort study.

His work deals with themes such as Physical therapy and Bone remodeling, which intersect with Osteoporosis. His work investigates the relationship between Incidence and topics such as Pediatrics that intersect with problems in Distal forearm, Prevalence and Young adult. His Epidemiology research incorporates elements of Defecation and Confidence interval.

His most cited work include:

  • The diagnosis of osteoporosis (2813 citations)
  • Epidemiology and outcomes of osteoporotic fractures. (2757 citations)
  • Trends in the incidence of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism: a 25-year population-based study. (2120 citations)

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

L. Joseph Melton mainly investigates Internal medicine, Surgery, Incidence, Osteoporosis and Epidemiology. His Internal medicine research incorporates themes from Gastroenterology and Diabetes mellitus, Endocrinology. His Surgery study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Relative risk, Confidence interval and Cohort study.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Mortality rate, Population based study, Rochester Epidemiology Project, Gynecology and Pediatrics in addition to Incidence. L. Joseph Melton has included themes like Physical therapy and Dentistry in his Osteoporosis study. His Epidemiology study incorporates themes from Gerontology and Public health.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (42.31%)
  • Surgery (32.55%)
  • Incidence (26.40%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2020)?

  • Internal medicine (42.31%)
  • Surgery (32.55%)
  • Osteoporosis (23.33%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Surgery, Osteoporosis, Bone density and Incidence. His Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Gastroenterology and Endocrinology. He interconnects Hip fracture, Heart failure, Cohort study, Rochester Epidemiology Project and Risk factor in the investigation of issues within Surgery.

His Osteoporosis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cortical bone, Physical therapy and Intensive care medicine. His Bone density research includes elements of Bone mineral, Tibia, Femoral neck and Forearm. His work in Incidence tackles topics such as Pediatrics which are related to areas like Primary hyperparathyroidism.

Between 2008 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The diagnosis of osteoporosis (2813 citations)
  • Perspective : how many women have osteoporosis ? (1096 citations)
  • Long-term fracture prediction by bone mineral assessed at different skeletal sites (771 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Disease

His scientific interests lie mostly in Internal medicine, Surgery, Osteoporosis, Bone density and Bone mineral. In the field of Internal medicine, his study on Body mass index overlaps with subjects such as Risk assessment. His work carried out in the field of Surgery brings together such families of science as Hip fracture, Epidemiology, Cohort study and Risk factor.

His biological study focuses on Bone disease. His Bone density research includes themes of Femur, FRAX, Physical therapy, Osteopenia and Forearm. The concepts of his Pediatrics study are interwoven with issues in Incidence and Retrospective cohort study.
