Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Epidemiology

His primary areas of investigation include Global health, Gerontology, Life expectancy, Years of potential life lost and Epidemiology. His research integrates issues of Statistics & numerical data, Disease burden and Environmental health in his study of Global health. His work deals with themes such as Body mass index, Disease and Public health, which intersect with Gerontology.

His Life expectancy research incorporates elements of Mortality rate and Cause of death. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Disability-adjusted life year, Epidemiological transition and Population health. His work carried out in the field of Epidemiology brings together such families of science as Odds ratio, Physical therapy and Incidence.

His most cited work include:

  • Global, regional, and national prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adults during 1980–2013: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (6893 citations)
  • Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 301 acute and chronic diseases and injuries in 188 countries, 1990-2013: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (6156 citations)
  • Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 79 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks in 188 countries, 1990-2013: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (4452 citations)

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

Rahman Shiri mainly focuses on Physical therapy, Global health, Internal medicine, Odds ratio and Environmental health. His Physical therapy study incorporates themes from Meta-analysis, Prospective cohort study, Randomized controlled trial and Low back pain. His studies in Global health integrate themes in fields like Life expectancy, Epidemiology, Gerontology and Disease burden.

Rahman Shiri is interested in Years of potential life lost, which is a field of Life expectancy. His research investigates the connection with Epidemiology and areas like Incidence which intersect with concerns in Burden of disease. His Environmental health study which covers Risk factor that intersects with Relative risk and Cohort study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Physical therapy (28.16%)
  • Global health (27.59%)
  • Internal medicine (18.39%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Environmental health (20.11%)
  • Public health (14.37%)
  • Life expectancy (18.97%)

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

Rahman Shiri mainly investigates Environmental health, Public health, Life expectancy, Years of potential life lost and Global health. His study looks at the relationship between Public health and topics such as Risk factor, which overlap with Relative risk, Malnutrition, Sick leave and Sickness absence. The study incorporates disciplines such as Attributable risk, Burden of disease and Incidence in addition to Life expectancy.

While the research belongs to areas of Years of potential life lost, Rahman Shiri spends his time largely on the problem of Cohort study, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Carpal tunnel syndrome and Prospective cohort study. His Global health research includes elements of Sanitation and Disease, Disease burden. His research in Disease burden intersects with topics in Mortality rate, Epidemiological transition, Population health and Per capita.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global burden of 369 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (224 citations)
  • Global burden of 369 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (224 citations)
  • Global burden of 369 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (224 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Pathology

Rahman Shiri focuses on Years of potential life lost, Life expectancy, Population health, Mortality rate and Disease burden. His Years of potential life lost study frequently links to related topics such as Public health. His Public health study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Relative risk, Risk factor, Cohort study and Environmental health.

His Life expectancy research includes themes of Incidence, Cause of death and Demographic analysis. His Mortality rate research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Global health, Disease, Demographic change and Demographic transition. The subject of his Global health research is within the realm of Health care.
