Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Disease
  • Internal medicine
  • Public health

His primary areas of investigation include Public health, Malaria, Global health, Environmental health and Pediatrics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Epidemiology, Gerontology and Medical emergency. His Gerontology research incorporates elements of Developing country, Verbal autopsy and Obesity.

The Malaria study combines topics in areas such as Vector, Incidence, Chemoprophylaxis, El Niño and Demography. His Global health research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Demographic transition, Climate change, Medical education and Health policy. His Environmental health research includes elements of Cross-sectional study, Disease and Blood pressure.

His most cited work include:

  • Health and climate change: policy responses to protect public health (757 citations)
  • Mortality and morbidity from malaria among children in a rural area of The Gambia, West Africa (552 citations)
  • The Lancet Countdown on health and climate change: from 25 years of inaction to a global transformation for public health (414 citations)

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

Peter Byass mostly deals with Environmental health, Public health, Verbal autopsy, Demography and Gerontology. His work carried out in the field of Environmental health brings together such families of science as Developing country, Child mortality, Health care and Cross-sectional study. Peter Byass works mostly in the field of Developing country, limiting it down to topics relating to Pediatrics and, in certain cases, Malaria and Cohort.

The concepts of his Public health study are interwoven with issues in Economic growth, Climate change and Epidemiology. His Verbal autopsy research includes themes of Medical emergency, Population health and Autopsy. His research integrates issues of Demographic surveillance system, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Poisson regression and Disease in his study of Demography.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental health (38.03%)
  • Public health (30.05%)
  • Verbal autopsy (27.70%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Environmental health (38.03%)
  • Public health (30.05%)
  • Health policy (16.90%)

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

Peter Byass focuses on Environmental health, Public health, Health policy, Verbal autopsy and Global health. His Environmental health study combines topics in areas such as Cause specific mortality, Cause of death, Dengue transmission and Dengue fever. His work deals with themes such as Economic growth, Epidemiology and Gerontology, which intersect with Public health.

He works mostly in the field of Health policy, limiting it down to concerns involving Participatory action research and, occasionally, Primary health care. His Verbal autopsy study also includes

  • Healthcare system together with Social determinants of health,
  • Demography which intersects with area such as Cohort. Peter Byass has included themes like Sustainable development, Cardiovascular therapy, Public relations and Autopsy in his Global health study.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Lancet Countdown on health and climate change: from 25 years of inaction to a global transformation for public health (414 citations)
  • The 2019 report of The Lancet Countdown on health and climate change: ensuring that the health of a child born today is not defined by a changing climate (328 citations)
  • The 2018 report of the Lancet Countdown on health and climate change: shaping the health of nations for centuries to come (300 citations)

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

  • Disease
  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Public health, Global health, Health policy, Verbal autopsy and Economic growth. Peter Byass studied Public health and Gerontology that intersect with Epidemiology. His study in Global health is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Climate change, Pediatrics, Respiratory system and Autopsy.

Peter Byass focuses mostly in the field of Health policy, narrowing it down to topics relating to Sustainable development and, in certain cases, Developing country, Disease, Preventive healthcare, Non-communicable disease and Public relations. His Verbal autopsy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Health informatics and Healthcare system. His studies in Cause of death integrate themes in fields like Mortality rate, Epidemiological transition and Environmental health.
