Blood pressure is closely connected to Cardiology in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Internal medicine.
Richard Peto has researched Prospective cohort study in several fields, including Body mass index, Epidemiology, Diabetes mellitus, Relative risk and Proportional hazards model.
Many of his studies on Surgery involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Clinical trial.
His research integrates issues of Cause of death, Gerontology and China in his study of Demography.
His Oncology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Tamoxifen, Chemotherapy and Early breast cancer.

Richard Peto mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Prospective cohort study, Demography, Proportional hazards model and Diabetes mellitus.
As part of his studies on Internal medicine, Richard Peto often connects relevant subjects like Oncology.
His Prospective cohort study study combines topics in areas such as Incidence, Relative risk, Mortality rate, Hazard ratio and Pediatrics.
His research on Demography also deals with topics like
- Body mass index together with Obesity,
- Gerontology which intersects with area such as Cross-sectional study.
While the research belongs to areas of Proportional hazards model, Richard Peto spends his time largely on the problem of Confidence interval, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Cause of death.
Richard Peto has included themes like Vascular disease and Myocardial infarction in his Stroke study.
Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:
