Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Obesity
  • Diabetes mellitus

Her main research concerns Weight loss, Obesity, Internal medicine, Physical therapy and Randomized controlled trial. Her Weight loss study incorporates themes from Body mass index, Overweight, Gerontology and Diabetes mellitus, Type 2 diabetes. Her studies in Obesity integrate themes in fields like Body weight, Physical exercise, Surgery and Diet therapy.

Rena R. Wing studied Internal medicine and Endocrinology that intersect with Physiology. Her Physical therapy research incorporates elements of Research design, Health education and Weight maintenance. Her study looks at the relationship between Randomized controlled trial and fields such as Clinical trial, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

Her most cited work include:

  • Cardiovascular effects of intensive lifestyle intervention in type 2 diabetes. (1690 citations)
  • Long-term weight loss maintenance (1371 citations)
  • Reduction in Weight and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes: One-Year Results of the Look AHEAD Trial (1273 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Weight loss, Obesity, Overweight, Physical therapy and Randomized controlled trial. Her study looks at the relationship between Weight loss and topics such as Body mass index, which overlap with Surgery. Her Obesity research incorporates themes from Body weight, Weight gain and Clinical psychology.

Her work carried out in the field of Overweight brings together such families of science as Physical exercise, Pediatrics, Type 2 diabetes and Animal science. Rena R. Wing combines subjects such as Intervention, Research design and Weight management with her study of Physical therapy. Her Randomized controlled trial research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Psychological intervention and Clinical trial.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Weight loss (63.10%)
  • Obesity (52.26%)
  • Overweight (37.59%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Weight loss (63.10%)
  • Obesity (52.26%)
  • Overweight (37.59%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Weight loss, Obesity, Overweight, Randomized controlled trial and Physical therapy. Her Weight loss study introduces a deeper knowledge of Internal medicine. Her Obesity study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Psychosocial, Clinical psychology, Disinhibition, Pediatrics and Migraine.

Her Overweight research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Randomization, Type 2 diabetes, Meal and Cohort. Rena R. Wing has researched Randomized controlled trial in several fields, including Psychological intervention, Lifestyle intervention, Young adult, Weight gain and Behavior change. The various areas that Rena R. Wing examines in her Physical therapy study include Body mass index, Research design, Weight management, Body weight and Sleep in non-human animals.

Between 2013 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • NIH working group report: Innovative research to improve maintenance of weight loss (312 citations)
  • Association of the magnitude of weight loss and changes in physical fitness with long-term cardiovascular disease outcomes in overweight or obese people with type 2 diabetes: a post-hoc analysis of the Look AHEAD randomised clinical trial. (230 citations)
  • Weight-loss maintenance for 10 years in the National Weight Control Registry. (209 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Obesity
  • Diabetes mellitus

Rena R. Wing mostly deals with Weight loss, Physical therapy, Obesity, Randomized controlled trial and Overweight. Her Weight loss study deals with the bigger picture of Internal medicine. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Psychological intervention, Anxiety, Confidence interval, Type 2 diabetes and Depression.

Rena R. Wing has researched Obesity in several fields, including Body mass index, Body weight, Treatment outcome and Migraine. The Randomized controlled trial study combines topics in areas such as Diabetes mellitus, Young adult, Pediatrics and Lifestyle intervention. The study incorporates disciplines such as Research design, Treadmill, Sedentary time and Preferred walking speed in addition to Overweight.
