Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Social psychology
  • Obesity

His primary areas of investigation include Walkability, Built environment, Environmental health, Gerontology and Level design. His research integrates issues of Urban design and Travel behavior in his study of Walkability. The Built environment study combines topics in areas such as Demography, Public economics and Land use.

His Mixed-use development study, which is part of a larger body of work in Land use, is frequently linked to Community design, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Environmental health research integrates issues from Spatial analysis and Socioeconomic status. Lawrence D. Frank focuses mostly in the field of Gerontology, narrowing it down to topics relating to Obesity and, in certain cases, Quality of life, Body mass index and Observational study.

His most cited work include:

  • Environmental correlates of walking and cycling: Findings from the transportation, urban design, and planning literatures (1749 citations)
  • Obesity relationships with community design, physical activity, and time spent in cars (1356 citations)
  • Linking objectively measured physical activity with objectively measured urban form: findings from SMARTRAQ. (1074 citations)

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

Lawrence D. Frank mostly deals with Built environment, Walkability, Environmental health, Gerontology and Demography. The various areas that Lawrence D. Frank examines in his Built environment study include Observational study, Transport engineering, Public transport, Land use and Health equity. He combines subjects such as Body mass index, Overweight and Pedestrian with his study of Walkability.

Lawrence D. Frank focuses mostly in the field of Environmental health, narrowing it down to matters related to Recreation and, in some cases, Regression analysis. His research in Gerontology intersects with topics in Sedentary lifestyle, Quality of life and Health promotion. His study in Demography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Motor activity, Obesity and Median income.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Built environment (51.45%)
  • Walkability (43.57%)
  • Environmental health (35.68%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Built environment (51.45%)
  • Walkability (43.57%)
  • Environmental health (35.68%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Built environment, Walkability, Environmental health, Demography and Overweight. The concepts of his Built environment study are interwoven with issues in Gerontology, Environmental planning, Applied psychology, Health promotion and Socioeconomic status. His research in Environmental planning intersects with topics in Urban design and Health care.

His study in Walkability is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Body mass index and Observational study, Statistics. The Environmental health study combines topics in areas such as Meta-analysis, Sedentary behavior and Recreation. His study looks at the relationship between Demography and fields such as Obesity, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Association of Long-Term Exposure to Transportation Noise and Traffic-Related Air Pollution with the Incidence of Diabetes: A Prospective Cohort Study. (69 citations)
  • Neighborhood built environment and socioeconomic status in relation to physical activity, sedentary behavior, and weight status of adolescents (58 citations)
  • Access to parks and physical activity: an eight country comparison. (47 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Social psychology
  • Disease

His main research concerns Built environment, Walkability, Environmental health, Human factors and ergonomics and Gerontology. The concepts of his Built environment study are interwoven with issues in Affordable housing, Logistic regression and Land use. His research integrates issues of Observational study, Intraclass correlation, Travel behavior and Environmental planning in his study of Walkability.

Lawrence D. Frank combines subjects such as Regression analysis, Social support, Demography and Variables with his study of Observational study. The various areas that Lawrence D. Frank examines in his Environmental health study include Incidence, Sedentary behavior, Active living, Recreation and Air pollution. His studies deal with areas such as Health promotion, Social ecological model, Ecological psychology and Health psychology as well as Gerontology.
