Larry Johnson serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Geriatrics within the College of Medicine at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. His academic work is based at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in North Little Rock, Arkansas, where he maintains an active clinical and research presence in geriatric care.

Dr. Johnson's research centers on critical geriatric nutrition issues including malnutrition, vitamin/mineral deficiencies, and inflammatory biomarkers in elderly populations. His expertise extends to sexual health in aging and clinical management of chronic conditions. He has made significant contributions to authoritative medical references including The Merck Manual (Professional and Home Editions) and Hazzard's Principles of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology, establishing him as a key resource in evidence-based geriatric practice.

Analysis of his publication record from 1993-2009 reveals consistent focus on the interrelationship between nutritional status, systemic inflammation, and clinical outcomes in elderly patients. His work demonstrates particular expertise in recuperative care settings, nursing home management, and transitional care, with recurring themes of biomarker monitoring, dietary interventions, and practical clinical applications for geriatric practitioners.
