Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • World War II
  • Diabetes mellitus

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Diabetes mellitus, Demography, Gerontology, Epidemiology and Disease. His studies in Diabetes mellitus integrate themes in fields like Relative risk, Internal medicine and Environmental health. His Demography research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Bangladeshis, Ethnic group, Incidence, Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes.

His Gerontology research includes elements of Stroke, Obesity, Metabolic syndrome and Cause of death. His research integrates issues of Surgery, Insulin resistance, Socioeconomic status, Disease burden and Risk factor in his study of Epidemiology. His Disease research integrates issues from Global health and Prevalence.

His most cited work include:

  • Glucose tolerance and mortality: comparison of WHO and American Diabetes Association diagnostic criteria (1270 citations)
  • Global and regional diabetes prevalence estimates for 2019 and projections for 2030 and 2045: Results from the International Diabetes Federation Diabetes Atlas, 9th edition. (1031 citations)
  • Impaired glucose tolerance and impaired fasting glycaemia: the current status on definition and intervention (923 citations)

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

Nigel Unwin focuses on Diabetes mellitus, Demography, Gerontology, Internal medicine and Public health. Nigel Unwin interconnects Obesity, Disease, MEDLINE and Environmental health in the investigation of issues within Diabetes mellitus. In his work, Blood pressure is strongly intertwined with Body mass index, which is a subfield of Obesity.

His work carried out in the field of Demography brings together such families of science as Cross-sectional study, Ethnic group and Risk factor. In his study, Surgery is inextricably linked to Epidemiology, which falls within the broad field of Gerontology. His biological study deals with issues like Endocrinology, which deal with fields such as Physiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Diabetes mellitus (39.25%)
  • Demography (28.04%)
  • Gerontology (26.17%)

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

  • Small Island Developing States (12.15%)
  • Diabetes mellitus (39.25%)
  • Food processing (8.10%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Small Island Developing States, Diabetes mellitus, Food processing, Food sovereignty and Environmental health. His Diabetes mellitus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Internal medicine, Retrospective cohort study and Demography. His research in Internal medicine intersects with topics in Vibration perception and Medical prescription.

His research on Retrospective cohort study also deals with topics like

  • Risk factor most often made with reference to Unstable angina,
  • Epidemiology most often made with reference to Tuberculosis. His study in the field of Mortality rate is also linked to topics like Dietary fibre. His Environmental health research incorporates themes from Descriptive statistics, Obesity and Taxable income.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global and regional diabetes prevalence estimates for 2019 and projections for 2030 and 2045: Results from the International Diabetes Federation Diabetes Atlas, 9th edition. (1031 citations)
  • Mortality attributable to diabetes in 20-79 years old adults, 2019 estimates: Results from the International Diabetes Federation Diabetes Atlas, 9th edition. (56 citations)
  • Assessing the impact of the Barbados sugar-sweetened beverage tax on beverage sales: an observational study (30 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • World War II
  • Law

His primary areas of investigation include Diabetes mellitus, Psychological intervention, Environmental health, Demography and Diabetes prevalence. Nigel Unwin combines subjects such as Internal medicine, Logistic regression and Health policy with his study of Diabetes mellitus. His Abdominal obesity study in the realm of Internal medicine interacts with subjects such as Foot.

His Environmental health study combines topics in areas such as Meta-analysis, Social determinants of health and Disease. His Disease research integrates issues from Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Potassium excretion, Excretion and Risk factor. His Demography study deals with International diabetes federation intersecting with Relative risk, Undiagnosed diabetes and Ethnic group.
