Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Public health

Pedro C. Hallal mainly focuses on Gerontology, Demography, Public health, Environmental health and Cohort study. His Gerontology study incorporates themes from Motor activity, Epidemiology, Developing country, Leisure time and Physical exercise. His research integrates issues of Body mass index, Overweight, Sedentary lifestyle, Socioeconomic status and Cohort in his study of Demography.

The Public health study combines topics in areas such as Psychological intervention, Vital capacity and Pulmonary disease. His Environmental health research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Urbanization, Health care and Poisson regression. His Cohort study research incorporates elements of Birth weight, Breastfeeding, Pediatrics, Breast feeding and Prospective cohort study.

His most cited work include:

  • Global physical activity levels: surveillance progress, pitfalls, and prospects (2988 citations)
  • Maternal and child undernutrition: consequences for adult health and human capital. (2358 citations)
  • Worldwide Timing of Growth Faltering: Revisiting Implications for Interventions (915 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Demography, Gerontology, Cohort study, Pediatrics and Epidemiology. His Demography research includes elements of Body mass index, Obesity, Cross-sectional study, Socioeconomic status and Cohort. His Socioeconomic status research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sedentary lifestyle and Poisson regression.

His work in Gerontology addresses subjects such as Environmental health, which are connected to disciplines such as Health promotion. The study incorporates disciplines such as Prospective cohort study and Birth weight in addition to Cohort study. His Pediatrics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Spirometry, FEV1/FVC ratio and Confounding.

Demography, Pandemic, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, Birth cohort and Environmental health are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Demography brings together such families of science as Cross-sectional study, Body mass index, Socioeconomic status and Cohort. His Body mass index study incorporates themes from Obesity and Gerontology.

His work deals with themes such as Screen time and Pediatrics, which intersect with Birth cohort. His Environmental health course of study focuses on Public health and Epidemiology and Socioeconomics. His Cohort study research integrates issues from Physical therapy and Wrist.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Progress in physical activity over the Olympic quadrennium (396 citations)
  • Global participation in sport and leisure-time physical activities: a systematic review and meta-analysis (138 citations)
  • SARS-CoV-2 antibody prevalence in Brazil: results from two successive nationwide serological household surveys. (80 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Pathology

His primary areas of study are Demography, Environmental health, Pandemic, Cohort study and Gerontology. He combines subjects such as Body mass index, Cross-sectional study, Confidence interval, Socioeconomic status and Seroprevalence with his study of Demography. His Body mass index study combines topics in areas such as Postpartum period, Leisure time, Obesity and Pediatrics.

His Environmental health research includes themes of Odds, Insulin blood and International health, Public health, Health promotion.
