Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cognition
  • Pathology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cognition, Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Cognitive decline and Gerontology. His Cognition study combines topics in areas such as Developmental psychology, Cognitive change, Cohort study and Audiology. His studies in Genetics integrate themes in fields like Human intelligence and Human height.

His research in Genome-wide association study intersects with topics in Uric acid, Gout, Blood pressure, Disease and Genetic association. His Cognitive decline study incorporates themes from Alzheimer's disease, Apolipoprotein E and Cognitive disorder. His Gerontology research incorporates elements of Psychosocial, Grip strength, Meta-analysis, Ageing and Executive functions.

His most cited work include:

  • Modulation of genetic associations with serum urate levels by body-mass-index in humans (1089 citations)
  • Age-associated cognitive decline (596 citations)
  • Genome-wide association studies establish that human intelligence is highly heritable and polygenic (499 citations)

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

Cognition, Developmental psychology, Gerontology, Cognitive decline and Hyperintensity are his primary areas of study. His Cognition study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as White matter, Cohort study, Audiology and Ageing. Alan J. Gow has included themes like Intelligence quotient and Personality in his Developmental psychology study.

His Gerontology study combines topics in areas such as Cognitive change, Grip strength, Cognitive aging, Cognitive ageing and Birth cohort. His studies in Cognitive decline integrate themes in fields like Longitudinal study, Apolipoprotein E and Cohort. His Hyperintensity study also includes fields such as

  • Endocrinology most often made with reference to Internal medicine,
  • Disease that connect with fields like Pulse pressure and Genetic association.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cognition (62.39%)
  • Developmental psychology (35.47%)
  • Gerontology (28.63%)

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

  • Cognition (62.39%)
  • Developmental psychology (35.47%)
  • Cognitive decline (22.65%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Cognition, Developmental psychology, Cognitive decline, Audiology and Disease. His work on Activity engagement as part of general Developmental psychology study is frequently connected to Thinking skills, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. Alan J. Gow interconnects Agreeableness, Openness to experience, Big Five personality traits, Conscientiousness and Need for cognition in the investigation of issues within Cognitive decline.

The Audiology study combines topics in areas such as White matter, Fractional anisotropy, Hyperintensity and Neuroimaging. His study in White matter is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Socioeconomic status, Propensity score matching, Cohort study and Diffusion MRI. He has researched Disease in several fields, including Genome-wide association study, Genetic association, Bioinformatics and Medical genetics.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genetic analysis of over 1 million people identifies 535 new loci associated with blood pressure traits. (284 citations)
  • Genetic analysis of over 1 million people identifies 535 new loci associated with blood pressure traits. (284 citations)
  • Copenhagen Consensus statement 2019: physical activity and ageing. (48 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Pathology

Alan J. Gow spends much of his time researching Cognition, Perception, Cognitive skill, Disease and Body mass index. He works on Cognition which deals in particular with Working memory. His work deals with themes such as Psychological intervention, Intervention trial and Medical education, which intersect with Perception.

His Cognitive skill study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Pessimism, Cognitive decline and Cognitive aging. His Disease study incorporates themes from Bioinformatics, Blood pressure, Medical genetics, Genetic association and Genetic testing. Alan J. Gow usually deals with Body mass index and limits it to topics linked to Gait speed and Brain size.
