Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics
  • Disease

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Physical therapy, Gerontology, Physical exercise, Obesity and Body mass index. The Physical therapy study combines topics in areas such as Self report, Energy expenditure, Doubly labeled water and Criterion validity. Ulf Ekelund works in the field of Gerontology, namely Young adult.

His work deals with themes such as Physical fitness, Epidemiology, Reliability, Aerobic exercise and Heart rate, which intersect with Physical exercise. His research in Body mass index intersects with topics in Odds ratio, Birth weight and Screen time. His research in Environmental health tackles topics such as Peer review which are related to areas like Sedentary time.

His most cited work include:

  • International physical activity questionnaire: 12-country reliability and validity (10233 citations)
  • Global physical activity levels: surveillance progress, pitfalls, and prospects (2988 citations)
  • Global physical activity levels: surveillance progress, pitfalls, and prospects (2988 citations)

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

Physical therapy, Internal medicine, Gerontology, Body mass index and Obesity are his primary areas of study. His study focuses on the intersection of Physical therapy and fields such as Psychological intervention with connections in the field of Intervention. His Internal medicine research includes elements of Diabetes mellitus, Endocrinology and Cardiology.

As a member of one scientific family, Ulf Ekelund mostly works in the field of Gerontology, focusing on Peer review and, on occasion, Epidemiology. His Body mass index research incorporates themes from Prospective cohort study, Anthropometry and Birth weight. He combines subjects such as Cohort study and Cohort with his study of Prospective cohort study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Physical therapy (32.22%)
  • Internal medicine (28.15%)
  • Gerontology (25.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (28.15%)
  • Physical therapy (32.22%)
  • Public health (12.10%)

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

His primary areas of study are Internal medicine, Physical therapy, Public health, Peer review and Emergency department. His Internal medicine study incorporates themes from Endocrinology and Cardiology. He focuses mostly in the field of Physical therapy, narrowing it down to topics relating to Psychological intervention and, in certain cases, Pedometer and Program evaluation.

His studies in Public health integrate themes in fields like Screen time, Physical fitness, Sedentary behavior and Gerontology. Ulf Ekelund has researched Gerontology in several fields, including Cardiorespiratory fitness, Systematic review and Behavioural sciences. His Peer review research also works with subjects such as

  • Epidemiology and related Sitting,
  • Body mass index that intertwine with fields like Obesity.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Dose-response associations between accelerometry measured physical activity and sedentary time and all cause mortality: systematic review and harmonised meta-analysis (260 citations)
  • Dose-response associations between accelerometry measured physical activity and sedentary time and all cause mortality: systematic review and harmonised meta-analysis (260 citations)
  • World Health Organization 2020 guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behaviour (190 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics
  • Disease

His scientific interests lie mostly in Peer review, Public health, Physical therapy, Psychological intervention and Body mass index. His Peer review study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sedentary time, Epidemiology, Clinical nutrition, Meta-analysis and Sitting. The Public health study combines topics in areas such as Screen time, Physical fitness, Gerontology and Public relations.

His Gerontology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Global health, Systematic review and Behavioural sciences. Proportional hazards model and Cohort is closely connected to Confidence interval in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Physical therapy. Ulf Ekelund combines subjects such as Developing country, Weight gain, Blood pressure and Malnutrition with his study of Body mass index.
