Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Diabetes mellitus

His main research concerns Internal medicine, Demography, Cohort study, Risk factor and Epidemiology. He interconnects Diabetes mellitus and Endocrinology in the investigation of issues within Internal medicine. His Demography research includes themes of Body mass index, Birth weight, Logistic regression, Gerontology and Cause of death.

As part of his studies on Gerontology, Tai Hing Lam often connects relevant subjects like Global health. His Risk factor research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Blood pressure and Environmental health. Tai Hing Lam has included themes like Incidence, Surgery, Disease, Public health and Pediatrics in his Epidemiology study.

His 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 his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Environmental health, Internal medicine, Demography, Gerontology and Cohort study. The concepts of his Environmental health study are interwoven with issues in Smoking cessation and Public health. His study in Internal medicine is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Diabetes mellitus, Endocrinology and Cardiology.

The Demography study combines topics in areas such as Body mass index, Epidemiology, Pediatrics and Confidence interval. Tai Hing Lam combines topics linked to Obesity with his work on Body mass index. His research in Cohort study intersects with topics in Biobank, Prospective cohort study, Cohort and Hazard ratio.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental health (20.09%)
  • Internal medicine (15.87%)
  • Demography (15.16%)

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

  • Environmental health (20.09%)
  • Smoking cessation (12.05%)
  • Demography (15.16%)

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

Tai Hing Lam mostly deals with Environmental health, Smoking cessation, Demography, Randomized controlled trial and Cohort study. The various areas that Tai Hing Lam examines in his Environmental health study include Tobacco control, Public health, Electronic cigarette, Cross-sectional study and Young adult. His Demography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Body mass index, Odds ratio, Epidemiology, Confidence interval and Cohort.

As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Body mass index, concentrating on Obesity and intersecting with Gerontology. His Cohort study study is related to the wider topic of Internal medicine. His work carried out in the field of Internal medicine brings together such families of science as Diabetes mellitus and Endocrinology.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • 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)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Cancer

His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental health, Demography, Smoking cessation, Cohort study and Internal medicine. His Environmental health research incorporates elements of Cigarette smoking, Tobacco control, Public health, Logistic regression and Cross-sectional study. His Demography study combines topics in areas such as Body mass index, Longitudinal study, Odds ratio, Epidemiology and Incidence.

Tai Hing Lam has included themes like Gerontology and Confounding in his Body mass index study. His Cohort study study also includes

  • Hazard ratio which connect with Prospective cohort study and Proportional hazards model,
  • Confidence interval which intersects with area such as Generalized estimating equation. His studies deal with areas such as Diabetes mellitus, Endocrinology and Chinese people as well as Internal medicine.
