Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics
  • Air pollution

His primary areas of investigation include Environmental health, Air pollution, Disease burden, Global health and Particulates. His Environmental health research incorporates elements of Relative risk, Cohort study and Risk factor. Aaron van Donkelaar has researched Risk factor in several fields, including Population ageing and Years of potential life lost.

His Air pollution study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as In situ, Chemical transport model, Pollutant, Environmental exposure and Environmental monitoring. He undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Disease burden and Risk assessment through his research. In the subject of general Particulates, his work in Fine particulate is often linked to Photometer, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His most cited work include:

  • A comparative risk assessment of burden of disease and injury attributable to 67 risk factors and risk factor clusters in 21 regions, 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (7776 citations)
  • Global, regional, and national life expectancy, all-cause mortality, and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes of death, 1980–2015: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 (3027 citations)
  • Global, regional, and national life expectancy, all-cause mortality, and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes of death, 1980–2015: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 (3027 citations)

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

His main research concerns Environmental health, Air pollution, Fine particulate, Particulates and Hazard ratio. His Environmental health study combines topics in areas such as Epidemiology, Risk factor, Cohort study and Confidence interval. His Risk factor study deals with Relative risk intersecting with Disease burden and Population ageing.

He studied Air pollution and Air quality index that intersect with Environmental protection. His Particulates research incorporates themes from Chemical transport model and Burden of disease. His research on Hazard ratio also deals with topics like

  • Proportional hazards model, which have a strong connection to Incidence, Prospective cohort study, Myocardial infarction and Ambient air pollution,
  • Gerontology most often made with reference to Cohort,
  • Interquartile range, which have a strong connection to Odds ratio and Confounding.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental health (35.62%)
  • Air pollution (30.14%)
  • Fine particulate (17.81%)

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

  • Environmental health (35.62%)
  • Air pollution (30.14%)
  • Hazard ratio (16.44%)

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

Environmental health, Air pollution, Hazard ratio, Cohort study and Incidence are his primary areas of study. The concepts of his Environmental health study are interwoven with issues in Public health, Asthma, Risk factor and Confidence interval. Aaron van Donkelaar interconnects Relative risk and Quartile in the investigation of issues within Risk factor.

His work deals with themes such as Population ageing and Years of potential life lost, which intersect with Relative risk. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Life expectancy and Disease burden. His Air pollution research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Mean squared error, Exposure assessment, Particulates and Pollution.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 84 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks for 195 countries and territories, 1990–2017 : a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 (1257 citations)
  • Global estimates of mortality associated with long-term exposure to outdoor fine particulate matter (517 citations)
  • Global burden of 87 risk factors in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (163 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics
  • Air pollution

Aaron van Donkelaar mainly focuses on Environmental health, Air pollution, Incidence, Risk factor and Relative risk. His Environmental health study incorporates themes from Disease burden, Proportional hazards model, Cohort study and Hazard ratio. His Air pollution research integrates issues from Mean squared error, Bayesian hierarchical modeling, Sensor fusion and Population exposure.

His studies in Incidence integrate themes in fields like Nitrogen dioxide and Asthma. Aaron van Donkelaar combines subjects such as Population ageing, Years of potential life lost, Public health and Malnutrition with his study of Risk factor. His Population ageing study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Life expectancy and Epidemiology.
