Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Social science
  • Disease

Shiriki K. Kumanyika mainly investigates Gerontology, Obesity, Overweight, Weight loss and Public health. His Gerontology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Psychological intervention, Percentile, Waist and Race. The concepts of his Obesity study are interwoven with issues in Body mass index, Intervention, Weight gain, Food industry and Product.

His study in Overweight is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Dyslipidemia, Dieting, Epidemiology, Demography and Risk factor. His research integrates issues of Physical therapy, Randomized controlled trial, Blood pressure and Black women in his study of Weight loss. His Public health research incorporates elements of Childhood obesity, Disease, Evidence-based medicine and Public relations.

His most cited work include:

  • Diet, nutrition and the prevention of chronic diseases (4807 citations)
