Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Cancer

His primary areas of study are Internal medicine, Gerontology, Prospective cohort study, Risk factor and Epidemiology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Placebo, Endocrinology and Surgery in addition to Internal medicine. The concepts of his Gerontology study are interwoven with issues in Cohort study, Demography, Activities of daily living, Dementia and Public health.

His Prospective cohort study study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Psychiatry, Depression, Confidence interval, Disease and C-reactive protein. Robert B. Wallace has included themes like Odds ratio and Case-control study in his Risk factor study. His Physical therapy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Test and Multivariate analysis.

His most cited work include:

  • A short physical performance battery assessing lower extremity function: association with self-reported disability and prediction of mortality and nursing home admission. (5344 citations)
  • Effects of conjugated equine estrogen in postmenopausal women with hysterectomy: the Women's Health Initiative randomized controlled trial (3739 citations)
  • Lower-Extremity Function in Persons over the Age of 70 Years as a Predictor of Subsequent Disability (2931 citations)

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

His main research concerns Internal medicine, Gerontology, Women's Health Initiative, Prospective cohort study and Demography. His Internal medicine research incorporates elements of Endocrinology, Surgery and Cardiology. His Gerontology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Epidemiology, Cohort study, Cognition, Activities of daily living and Public health.

The various areas that Robert B. Wallace examines in his Women's Health Initiative study include Randomized controlled trial, Placebo, Gynecology, Physical therapy and Age-Related Eye Disease Study. His Prospective cohort study study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Risk factor and Confidence interval. His Demography study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Body mass index.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (32.10%)
  • Gerontology (21.91%)
  • Women's Health Initiative (12.61%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (32.10%)
  • Women's Health Initiative (12.61%)
  • Hazard ratio (7.01%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Women's Health Initiative, Hazard ratio, Demography and Prospective cohort study. His Women's Health Initiative study combines topics in areas such as Medroxyprogesterone acetate and Age-Related Eye Disease Study. Robert B. Wallace works mostly in the field of Hazard ratio, limiting it down to topics relating to Disease and, in certain cases, Cognition, as a part of the same area of interest.

The Demography study combines topics in areas such as Body mass index and Obesity. His research in Prospective cohort study intersects with topics in All cause mortality and Cause of death. His Cohort research includes themes of Cohort study and Risk factor.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Risk thresholds for alcohol consumption: combined analysis of individual-participant data for 599 912 current drinkers in 83 prospective studies (385 citations)
  • Epigenetic clock analysis of diet, exercise, education, and lifestyle factors (246 citations)
  • World Health Organization cardiovascular disease risk charts: revised models to estimate risk in 21 global regions (108 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Cancer

Robert B. Wallace mostly deals with Internal medicine, Hazard ratio, Demography, Prospective cohort study and Incidence. His study in Internal medicine is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Endocrinology and Obstetrics. His Hazard ratio study incorporates themes from Lower risk, Women's Health Initiative and Oncology.

His Demography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Body mass index, Obesity, Cross-sectional study, Baseline characteristics and National health. The various areas that he examines in his Prospective cohort study study include Risk factor, Cause of death, Risk assessment and Anxiety. In his study, Heart failure and Epidemiology is inextricably linked to Stroke, which falls within the broad field of Incidence.
