Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Public health
  • Disease

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Demography, Environmental health, Social class, Cross-sectional study and Public health. Her studies in Demography integrate themes in fields like Meta-analysis, Socioeconomic status and Gerontology. Her work deals with themes such as Global health and Tobacco control, which intersect with Gerontology.

Her research investigates the connection with Environmental health and areas like Diet Surveys which intersect with concerns in Food science and Nutrient. The concepts of her Public health study are interwoven with issues in Response rate, Logistic regression and Epidemiology. Her Logistic regression study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Odds ratio and Risk factor.

Her most cited work include:

  • A systematic review of socio-economic differences in food habits in Europe: consumption of fruit and vegetables (544 citations)
  • Trends in smoking behaviour between 1985 and 2000 in nine European countries by education (377 citations)
  • Gender, socioeconomic status and family status as determinants of food behaviour (230 citations)

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

Ritva Prättälä mainly focuses on Environmental health, Demography, Gerontology, Public health and Socioeconomic status. Her research integrates issues of Socioeconomic differences and Social determinants of health in her study of Environmental health. Her Demography research includes themes of Odds ratio, Logistic regression, Marital status and Risk factor.

In general Gerontology study, her work on Young adult often relates to the realm of Cross-sectional study, Leisure time and Injury prevention, thereby connecting several areas of interest. The study incorporates disciplines such as Response rate and Epidemiology in addition to Public health. Ritva Prättälä studied Socioeconomic status and Diet Surveys that intersect with Food science.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental health (31.97%)
  • Demography (26.23%)
  • Gerontology (23.77%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2010-2017)?

  • Gerontology (23.77%)
  • Environmental health (31.97%)
  • Demography (26.23%)

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

Ritva Prättälä spends much of her time researching Gerontology, Environmental health, Demography, Cross-sectional study and Public health. Her work deals with themes such as Physical fitness and Cohort, which intersect with Gerontology. The Environmental health study combines topics in areas such as Socioeconomic differences, Social determinants of health and Logistic regression.

The concepts of her Demography study are interwoven with issues in Marital status, Risk factor and Saturated fat. Her Cross-sectional study research incorporates elements of Household income, Body mass index, Socioeconomic status, Injury prevention and Occupational safety and health. Ritva Prättälä studies Biostatistics which is a part of Public health.

Between 2010 and 2017, her most popular works were:

  • Social capital, health behaviours and health: a population-based associational study (112 citations)
  • Socio-demographic and behavioral variation in barriers to leisure-time physical activity (38 citations)
  • Explaining educational differences in leisure-time physical activity in Europe: the contribution of work-related factors (33 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Public health
  • Disease

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Environmental health, Body mass index, Gerontology, Cross-sectional study and Logistic regression. Her studies deal with areas such as Social determinants of health and Built environment as well as Environmental health. Her research in Body mass index intersects with topics in Middle age and Socioeconomic status.

Ritva Prättälä combines subjects such as Demography and Epidemiology, Public health, Biostatistics with her study of Gerontology. Her Demography research incorporates elements of Urbanization, Multivariate analysis and Marital status.
