Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Gene

Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Type 2 diabetes, Insulin and Insulin resistance are his primary areas of study. Allan Vaag has included themes like Diabetes mellitus, Regulation of gene expression and Gene expression in his Internal medicine study. The concepts of his Diabetes mellitus study are interwoven with issues in Glucose transporter, Heritability, Myocardial infarction and Genetic predisposition.

His work deals with themes such as Epigenetics and DNA methylation, which intersect with Endocrinology. His Type 2 diabetes research includes elements of Metformin, Genome-wide association study, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Glucose homeostasis. In his work, Gastric inhibitory polypeptide is strongly intertwined with Glucagon-like peptide-1, which is a subfield of Insulin.

His most cited work include:

  • Epigenetic differences arise during the lifetime of monozygotic twins (2717 citations)
  • Interleukin-1-receptor antagonist in type 2 diabetes mellitus. (1385 citations)
  • Interleukin-1-receptor antagonist in type 2 diabetes mellitus. (1385 citations)

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

His main research concerns Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Type 2 diabetes, Insulin and Insulin resistance. His research integrates issues of Diabetes mellitus, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and DNA methylation in his study of Internal medicine. His Diabetes mellitus research includes themes of Offspring, Pregnancy and Gestational diabetes.

In his research, Low birth weight and Physiology is intimately related to Birth weight, which falls under the overarching field of Endocrinology. His Type 2 diabetes study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Body mass index, Gastroenterology, Randomized controlled trial, Metabolic syndrome and Epigenetics. His research ties Metabolism and Insulin together.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (98.72%)
  • Endocrinology (87.21%)
  • Type 2 diabetes (60.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (98.72%)
  • Type 2 diabetes (60.13%)
  • Gestational diabetes (13.86%)

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

Allan Vaag mostly deals with Internal medicine, Type 2 diabetes, Gestational diabetes, Insulin resistance and Endocrinology. His works in Body mass index, Insulin, Clinical trial, Odds ratio and Concomitant are all subjects of inquiry into Internal medicine. His Type 2 diabetes research is classified as research in Diabetes mellitus.

His Gestational diabetes research also works with subjects such as

  • Physiology, DNA methylation, Fetus and Obesity most often made with reference to Offspring,
  • Obstetrics which intersects with area such as Quartile and Lower risk,
  • Cohort, which have a strong connection to Epidemiology. His research investigates the connection with Insulin resistance and areas like Epigenetics which intersect with concerns in Adipose tissue, Epigenome and Cell biology. Allan Vaag interconnects Birth weight and Low birth weight in the investigation of issues within Endocrinology.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Maternal and fetal genetic effects on birth weight and their relevance to cardio-metabolic risk factors (129 citations)
  • Effect of an Intensive Lifestyle Intervention on Glycemic Control in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Clinical Trial. (62 citations)
  • Effect of an Intensive Lifestyle Intervention on Glycemic Control in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Clinical Trial. (62 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Gene

Allan Vaag mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Type 2 diabetes, Gestational diabetes, Endocrinology and Offspring. His study in Autophagy extends to Internal medicine with its themes. The Type 2 diabetes study combines topics in areas such as Body mass index, Physical therapy, Birth weight and Cohort study.

His Endocrinology study typically links adjacent topics like DNA methylation. His Offspring research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Diabetes mellitus and Fetus. His study in Diabetes mellitus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Blood pressure and Cohort.
