Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Obesity
  • Diabetes mellitus

Louise A. Baur mostly deals with Body mass index, Obesity, Internal medicine, Overweight and Endocrinology. Her studies deal with areas such as Type 2 diabetes, Physical therapy, Demography and Pediatrics as well as Body mass index. In her work, Underweight is strongly intertwined with Global health, which is a subfield of Demography.

Louise A. Baur combines subjects such as Psychological intervention, Odds ratio and Gerontology with her study of Pediatrics. Her work in Obesity tackles topics such as Environmental health which are related to areas like Feeding behavior. Her Overweight research includes themes of Randomized controlled trial, Quality of life and Weight loss.

Her most cited work include:

  • Obesity in children and young people: a crisis in public health. (3091 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 (2616 citations)
  • 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 (2521 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Obesity, Overweight, Body mass index, Childhood obesity and Internal medicine. Her Obesity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gerontology, Pediatrics and Environmental health. While the research belongs to areas of Overweight, Louise A. Baur spends her time largely on the problem of Physical therapy, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Randomized controlled trial.

The Body mass index study which covers Demography that intersects with Socioeconomic status and Screen time. Her research investigates the connection between Childhood obesity and topics such as Psychological intervention that intersect with problems in Breastfeeding. Her Internal medicine study often links to related topics such as Endocrinology.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Obesity (46.42%)
  • Overweight (34.60%)
  • Body mass index (28.32%)

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

  • Obesity (46.42%)
  • Childhood obesity (23.07%)
  • Overweight (34.60%)

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

Louise A. Baur spends much of her time researching Obesity, Childhood obesity, Overweight, Psychological intervention and Family medicine. Her research in Obesity intersects with topics in Meta-analysis, Body mass index, Demography and Environmental health. Her research on Body mass index frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Weight gain.

In Childhood obesity, Louise A. Baur works on issues like Public health, which are connected to Focus group. Her study in Overweight is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Anthropometry and Socioeconomic status. Her Psychological intervention research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Screen time, Breastfeeding, Pediatrics and Randomized controlled trial.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Interventions for treating children and adolescents with overweight and obesity: an overview of Cochrane reviews (60 citations)
  • Treatment of adolescent obesity (51 citations)
  • Treatment of adolescent obesity (51 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Obesity
  • Diabetes mellitus

Her primary areas of study are Obesity, Overweight, Body mass index, Childhood obesity and Psychological intervention. Obesity is the subject of her research, which falls under Internal medicine. Louise A. Baur interconnects Dieting, Environmental health, Meta-analysis, Clinical psychology and Physical therapy in the investigation of issues within Overweight.

Her Body mass index research integrates issues from Demography, Epidemiology and Atherogenic lipoprotein. Her Childhood obesity study incorporates themes from Crossover study, Developmental psychology, Clinical nutrition, Advertising and Dietary intake. Her Psychological intervention study also includes

  • Screen time, Health care, Gestational diabetes and Formative assessment most often made with reference to Breastfeeding,
  • Pediatrics, Sample, Information needs and Test most often made with reference to Randomized controlled trial.
