Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Surgery

Robert G. Cumming spends much of his time researching Physical therapy, Odds ratio, Confidence interval, Gerontology and Risk factor. His Physical therapy research incorporates themes from Psychological intervention, Hip fracture, Randomized controlled trial, Rate ratio and Injury prevention. His Odds ratio study is focused on Internal medicine in general.

His study in Confidence interval is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Incidence, Adverse effect, Polypharmacy, Proportional hazards model and Depression. His Gerontology research includes themes of Hazard ratio, Public health, Activities of daily living and Comorbidity. His Risk factor study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Epidemiology, Vision disorder, Prospective cohort study, Surgery and Pediatrics.

His most cited work include:

  • Interventions for preventing falls in elderly people (1061 citations)
  • Effective Exercise for the Prevention of Falls: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis (1009 citations)
  • Drugs and Falls in Older People: A Systematic Review and Meta‐analysis: I. Psychotropic Drugs (963 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Gerontology, Physical therapy, Internal medicine, Confidence interval and Odds ratio. The concepts of his Gerontology study are interwoven with issues in Demography, Activities of daily living, Dementia, Public health and Ageing. His research on Physical therapy also deals with topics like

  • Randomized controlled trial that intertwine with fields like Clinical trial,
  • Injury prevention which is related to area like Suicide prevention.

His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Endocrinology and Surgery. His study focuses on the intersection of Confidence interval and fields such as Cohort study with connections in the field of Cancer. The various areas that Robert G. Cumming examines in his Odds ratio study include Body mass index, Incidence, Cross-sectional study, Posterior subcapsular cataract and Risk factor.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Gerontology (30.41%)
  • Physical therapy (25.68%)
  • Internal medicine (23.14%)

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

  • Gerontology (30.41%)
  • Internal medicine (23.14%)
  • Demography (12.67%)

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

Gerontology, Internal medicine, Demography, Ageing and Confidence interval are his primary areas of study. His Gerontology study which covers Body mass index that intersects with Lean body mass. His work in Internal medicine is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Endocrinology.

His study explores the link between Demography and topics such as Cohort that cross with problems in Cohort study, Epidemiology and Prospective cohort study. His work in Confidence interval tackles topics such as Odds ratio which are related to areas like Logistic regression. Osteoporosis is closely attributed to Physical therapy in his study.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Exercise to prevent falls in older adults: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis (339 citations)
  • Importance of collecting data on socioeconomic determinants from the early stage of the COVID-19 outbreak onwards. (98 citations)
  • Sarcopenic Obesity and Its Temporal Associations With Changes in Bone Mineral Density, Incident Falls, and Fractures in Older Men: The Concord Health and Ageing in Men Project (70 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Surgery

Robert G. Cumming mainly focuses on Gerontology, Internal medicine, Physical therapy, Dementia and Demography. His Gerontology research integrates issues from Body mass index, Cohort study, Cross-sectional study, Activities of daily living and Comorbidity. The study incorporates disciplines such as Relative risk, Rate ratio, Lower urinary tract symptoms and Logistic regression in addition to Physical therapy.

His studies in Dementia integrate themes in fields like Injury prevention, Suicide prevention and Depression. His Injury prevention study incorporates themes from Meta-analysis and Cochrane Library. Robert G. Cumming combines subjects such as Incidence and Confidence interval with his study of Odds ratio.
