Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Disease

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Breast cancer, Internal medicine, Cancer, Gynecology and Gerontology. Her studies deal with areas such as Surgery, Cross-sectional study, Weight gain, Obstetrics and Risk factor as well as Breast cancer. The study incorporates disciplines such as Endocrinology and Oncology in addition to Internal medicine.

The concepts of her Cancer study are interwoven with issues in Physical therapy, MEDLINE and Hazard ratio. Her Gynecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Carcinoma in situ, Mammography and Odds ratio. Her studies in Gerontology integrate themes in fields like Basal metabolic rate, Obesity, Epidemiology, Cohort study and Environmental health.

Her most cited work include:

  • Overweight, Obesity, and Mortality in a Large Prospective Cohort of Persons 50 to 71 Years Old (1782 citations)
  • American Cancer Society Guidelines on Nutrition and Physical Activity for Cancer Prevention: Reducing the Risk of Cancer with Healthy Food Choices and Physical Activity (1595 citations)
  • Individual and combined effects of age, breast density, and hormone replacement therapy use on the accuracy of screening mammography. (914 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Breast cancer, Internal medicine, Cancer, Gynecology and Gerontology. In her research, Proportional hazards model is intimately related to Prospective cohort study, which falls under the overarching field of Breast cancer. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Endocrinology and Oncology.

Her Cancer study combines topics in areas such as Gastroenterology, Physical therapy and Environmental health. Her work in Gynecology tackles topics such as Confidence interval which are related to areas like Odds ratio. Her research in Gerontology focuses on subjects like Public health, which are connected to National Health Interview Survey and Family medicine.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Breast cancer (50.57%)
  • Internal medicine (41.83%)
  • Cancer (28.14%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2010-2015)?

  • Breast cancer (50.57%)
  • Internal medicine (41.83%)
  • Body mass index (19.01%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Breast cancer, Internal medicine, Body mass index, Oncology and Gerontology. Her Breast cancer study contributes to a more complete understanding of Cancer. Her Internal medicine research incorporates elements of Endocrinology and Gynecology.

Her study looks at the intersection of Body mass index and topics like Obesity with Weight gain, Family medicine, Primary care and Health equity. Her work investigates the relationship between Oncology and topics such as Surgery that intersect with problems in Sentinel lymph node. Rachel Ballard-Barbash has included themes like Psychosocial, Sedentary lifestyle, Risk factor and Weight change in her Gerontology study.

Between 2010 and 2015, her most popular works were:

  • Physical Activity, Biomarkers, and Disease Outcomes in Cancer Survivors: A Systematic Review (589 citations)
  • Annual Report to the Nation on the status of cancer, 1975-2008, featuring cancers associated with excess weight and lack of sufficient physical activity. (399 citations)
  • Cancer Screening — United States, 2010 (283 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Disease

Rachel Ballard-Barbash mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Breast cancer, Physical therapy, Oncology and Hazard ratio. Her research integrates issues of Endocrinology and Gynecology in her study of Internal medicine. The subject of her Breast cancer research is within the realm of Cancer.

Her Physical therapy research incorporates themes from National Health Interview Survey, Randomized controlled trial and Environmental health. Her study in Oncology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Atypical hyperplasia, Fibrocystic Breast Disease, Overweight, Breast disease and Risk factors for breast cancer. Her work carried out in the field of Hazard ratio brings together such families of science as Body mass index, Weight loss, Cohort study, Gerontology and Proportional hazards model.
