Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Obesity

Rute Santos mainly focuses on Body mass index, Gerontology, Overweight, Public health and Obesity. Her research integrates issues of Logistic regression, Cross-sectional study, Cardiorespiratory fitness, Mediterranean diet and Pediatrics in her study of Body mass index. Her Gerontology research includes themes of Physical fitness, Epidemiology, Sedentary behavior, Portuguese population and Global health.

Her work deals with themes such as Sample and Confounding, which intersect with Overweight. Her work is dedicated to discovering how Public health, Screen time are connected with Sedentary lifestyle and other disciplines. Her Obesity research includes elements of Feeding behavior and Meal.

Her most cited work include:

  • Trends in adult body-mass index in 200 countries from 1975 to 2014: A pooled analysis of 1698 population-based measurement studies with 19.2 million participants (2278 citations)
  • Worldwide trends in body-mass index, underweight, overweight, and obesity from 1975 to 2016: a pooled analysis of 2416 population-based measurement studies in 128·9 million children, adolescents, and adults (2180 citations)
  • Worldwide trends in diabetes since 1980: a pooled analysis of 751 population-based studies with 4.4 million participants (1737 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Body mass index, Cardiorespiratory fitness, Physical therapy, Obesity and Gerontology. In her work, Confidence interval is strongly intertwined with Odds ratio, which is a subfield of Body mass index. Rute Santos interconnects Physical fitness, Mediterranean diet, Waist and Endocrinology in the investigation of issues within Cardiorespiratory fitness.

The various areas that she examines in her Physical therapy study include Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Heart rate. The Obesity study combines topics in areas such as Pediatrics and Risk factor. Rute Santos combines subjects such as Epidemiology, Sedentary behavior, Public health, Scopus and Early childhood with her study of Gerontology.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Body mass index (38.60%)
  • Cardiorespiratory fitness (33.33%)
  • Physical therapy (30.53%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Body mass index (38.60%)
  • Sedentary time (7.72%)
  • Gerontology (23.86%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Body mass index, Sedentary time, Gerontology, Obesity and Anthropometry. Her Body mass index study combines topics in areas such as Cardiorespiratory fitness, Confounding and Malnutrition. The concepts of her Sedentary time study are interwoven with issues in Cardiovascular health, Disease and Environmental health.

Her study in Gerontology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both SciELO, Program evaluation and Scopus. Rute Santos is studying Underweight, which is a component of Obesity. Her Underweight research integrates issues from Global health and Double burden.

Between 2019 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Variations in accelerometry measured physical activity and sedentary time across Europe - harmonized analyses of 47,497 children and adolescents (30 citations)
  • Height and body-mass index trajectories of school-aged children and adolescents from 1985 to 2019 in 200 countries and territories: a pooled analysis of 2181 population-based studies with 65 million participants (14 citations)
  • Correlates of Sleep Duration in Early Childhood: A Systematic Review. (5 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Disease

Gerontology, Body mass index, Early childhood, PsycINFO and Scopus are her primary areas of study. Her Gerontology research incorporates themes from Effective interventions, Sedentary behavior and Cardiovascular health. Her Body mass index research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Clinical nutrition, Cardiorespiratory fitness and Anthropometry.

Her Cardiorespiratory fitness study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Fat mass, Treadmill, Team handball and Cohort study. While the research belongs to areas of Anthropometry, Rute Santos spends her time largely on the problem of Endocrinology, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Internal medicine. In her works, Rute Santos undertakes multidisciplinary study on Early childhood and Sleep duration.
