Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Public health
  • Disease
  • Internal medicine

Rakhi Dandona mainly investigates Global health, Years of potential life lost, Demography, Mortality rate and Life expectancy. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Gerontology, Environmental health and Disease burden, Disease, Cause of death. She has included themes like Disability-adjusted life year, Cancer registry and Population health in her Years of potential life lost study.

The various areas that Rakhi Dandona examines in her Demography study include Cancer, Incidence, Visual acuity, Maternal death and Visual impairment. Her Mortality rate research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Verbal autopsy, Breast cancer and Cancer prevention. In her research on the topic of Life expectancy, Compensation law of mortality is strongly related with Epidemiological transition.

Her most cited work include:

  • Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 328 diseases and injuries for 195 countries, 1990–2016: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016 (8226 citations)
  • Global, regional, and national age-sex specific all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 240 causes of death, 1990-2013: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (4695 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 (4688 citations)

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

Rakhi Dandona mostly deals with Demography, Environmental health, Global health, Mortality rate and Public health. Her studies in Demography integrate themes in fields like Verbal autopsy, Cause of death, Epidemiology, Incidence and Gerontology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Psychological intervention, Disease, Disease burden and Risk factor in addition to Environmental health.

In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Global health, Epidemiological transition is strongly linked to Life expectancy. Her research integrates issues of Uncertainty interval, Years of potential life lost, Breast cancer, Cancer prevention and Child mortality in her study of Mortality rate. Her Years of potential life lost research incorporates themes from Disability-adjusted life year and Cancer.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Demography (64.52%)
  • Environmental health (43.37%)
  • Global health (41.22%)

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

  • Demography (64.52%)
  • Global health (41.22%)
  • Environmental health (43.37%)

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

Her main research concerns Demography, Global health, Environmental health, Mortality rate and Years of potential life lost. Her study in Demography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Psychological intervention, Incidence, Total fertility rate, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Burden of disease. Rakhi Dandona has researched Global health in several fields, including Smoking Tobacco, Life expectancy and Disease burden.

Her Environmental health research includes elements of Developing country and Tropical disease. Her Mortality rate study combines topics in areas such as Verbal autopsy, Cause of death, Attributable risk and Risk factor. Her research investigates the connection between Years of potential life lost and topics such as Disease that intersect with problems in COPD and Actuarial science.

Between 2019 and 2021, her 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 (770 citations)
  • Global, regional, and national burden of chronic kidney disease, 1990–2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 (671 citations)
  • Global burden of 87 risk factors in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (454 citations)

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

  • Public health
  • Disease
  • Internal medicine

Her primary scientific interests are in Years of potential life lost, Mortality rate, Demography, Global health and Life expectancy. Her Years of potential life lost research incorporates elements of Environmental health, Relative risk, Disease, Cause of death and Risk factor. Her Environmental health research integrates issues from Kidney disease, Disability-adjusted life year, Specific risk, COPD and Malnutrition.

Her work deals with themes such as Uncertainty interval, Burden of disease, Incidence and Occupational safety and health, which intersect with Demography. Rakhi Dandona interconnects Disease burden and Population health in the investigation of issues within Global health. Her Life expectancy study incorporates themes from Demographic analysis, Total fertility rate, Demographic change, Demographic transition and Birth rate.
