Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Public health
  • Psychiatry

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Anemia, Iron deficiency, Immunology, Malnutrition and Iron-deficiency anemia. Her study in Anemia is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pregnancy, Low birth weight, Erythropoietin, HIV Seronegativity and Pediatrics. The concepts of her Iron deficiency study are interwoven with issues in Placebo and Mebendazole.

Her Immunology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Transferrin receptor, Hemoglobin, Ferritin and Physiology. Her work carried out in the field of Malnutrition brings together such families of science as Global health, Public health, Wasting and Environmental health. Her Iron-deficiency anemia research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Helminthiasis and Hookworm infection.

Her most cited work include:

  • Effects of routine prophylactic supplementation with iron and folic acid on admission to hospital and mortality in preschool children in a high malaria transmission setting: community-based, randomised, placebo-controlled trial (773 citations)
  • Guidelines for the use of iron supplements to prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia (504 citations)
  • Epidemiology of iron deficiency anemia in Zanzibari schoolchildren: the importance of hookworms. (329 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Anemia, Pediatrics, Environmental health, Immunology and Iron deficiency. Her work on Iron-deficiency anemia is typically connected to Micronutrient as part of general Anemia study, connecting several disciplines of science. Her study focuses on the intersection of Pediatrics and fields such as Placebo with connections in the field of Vitamin.

Her Environmental health research focuses on Psychological intervention and how it connects with Pregnancy and Public health. Her Immunology research includes elements of Internal medicine, Erythropoietin and Physiology. Her research on Iron deficiency frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Ferritin.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Anemia (30.62%)
  • Pediatrics (24.81%)
  • Environmental health (16.67%)

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

  • Environmental health (16.67%)
  • Psychological intervention (13.95%)
  • Pregnancy (13.57%)

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

Rebecca J. Stoltzfus mostly deals with Environmental health, Psychological intervention, Pregnancy, Social support and Breastfeeding. The Environmental health study combines topics in areas such as Chronic exposure, Cluster randomised controlled trial, Randomized controlled trial, Ingestion and Malnutrition. Her research in Psychological intervention focuses on subjects like Standard score, which are connected to Clinical trial, Confidence interval, Hazard ratio, Anthropometry and Pediatrics.

In her research, Anemia is intimately related to Animal studies, which falls under the overarching field of Aflatoxin. She performs multidisciplinary studies into Anemia and Isotope in her work. Her studies deal with areas such as Malaria and Ferritin as well as Iron deficiency.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Independent and combined effects of improved water, sanitation, and hygiene, and improved complementary feeding, on child stunting and anaemia in rural Zimbabwe: a cluster-randomised trial (145 citations)
  • World Health Organization strong recommendations based on low-quality evidence (study quality) are frequent and often inconsistent with GRADE guidance (41 citations)
  • Aflatoxin Exposure During Pregnancy, Maternal Anemia, and Adverse Birth Outcomes. (38 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Public health

Rebecca J. Stoltzfus mainly focuses on Environmental health, Psychological intervention, Pregnancy, Randomized controlled trial and Developing country. Many of her studies involve connections with topics such as Malnutrition and Environmental health. Her biological study deals with issues like Health care, which deal with fields such as Psychiatry.

Her Psychological intervention study incorporates themes from Actuarial science, Standard score and Public health. The various areas that Rebecca J. Stoltzfus examines in her Pregnancy study include Pill, Anemia, Toxicity and Obstetrics. Her Randomized controlled trial study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Intervention, Breastfeeding, Health facility and Early initiation.
