  • Heterogeneity of coronary heart disease risk factors in Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and European origin populations: cross sectional study (532 citations)
  • Ethnicity as a variable in epidemiological research. (450 citations)
  • Glossary of terms relating to ethnicity and race: for reflection and debate (365 citations)

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

Raj Bhopal focuses on Ethnic group, Demography, Epidemiology, Public health and Gerontology. Raj Bhopal has included themes like Health care, Cohort study, Race, Family medicine and Census in his Ethnic group study. His Family medicine study combines topics in areas such as Alternative medicine and MEDLINE.

His research in Demography intersects with topics in Cross-sectional study, Relative risk, Confidence interval and Pediatrics. His research integrates issues of Retrospective cohort study, Disease, Incidence and Environmental health in his study of Epidemiology. His Gerontology study incorporates themes from Psychological intervention, Body mass index and Obesity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ethnic group (43.07%)
  • Demography (30.17%)
  • Epidemiology (19.46%)

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

  • Ethnic group (43.07%)
  • Demography (30.17%)
  • Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (4.38%)

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

Raj Bhopal mostly deals with Ethnic group, Demography, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, Pandemic and 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak. His Ethnic group research incorporates themes from Health care, Gender studies, Race, Immigration and Census. Raj Bhopal combines subjects such as White British, Poisson regression, Gerontology and Disease with his study of Demography.

His Gerontology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Obesity, Retrospective cohort study and Public health. His 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak research incorporates elements of Epidemiology and MEDLINE. His work focuses on many connections between Epidemiology and other disciplines, such as Environmental health, that overlap with his field of interest in Childhood obesity.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Effectiveness of a childhood obesity prevention programme delivered through schools, targeting 6 and 7 year olds: cluster randomised controlled trial (WAVES study) (95 citations)
  • Sharpening the global focus on ethnicity and race in the time of COVID-19. (91 citations)
  • All-cause and cause-specific mortality of different migrant populations in Europe (57 citations)

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

  • Law
  • Internal medicine
  • Disease

His main research concerns Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak, Pandemic, Demography and Ethnic group. In his research on the topic of 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak, Epidemiology, Economic growth, Population size and Family medicine is strongly related with MEDLINE. His work in Epidemiology is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Public health.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cohort study, White British, Poisson regression and Gerontology. He has researched Gerontology in several fields, including Life course epidemiology, Asthma and Hazard ratio. His Ethnic group research includes elements of Gender studies and Immigration.
