Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Diabetes mellitus

Erkki Vartiainen mostly deals with Risk factor, Internal medicine, Demography, Epidemiology and Blood pressure. His Risk factor research incorporates themes from Body mass index, Proportional hazards model, Surgery, Relative risk and Heart disease. His Internal medicine study incorporates themes from Diabetes mellitus, Endocrinology and Genetics.

His Demography research integrates issues from Coronary heart disease, Gerontology, Intensive care medicine, Pharmacotherapy and Depression. His Epidemiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Odds ratio, Cross-sectional study, Injury prevention, Public health and Cardiac surgery. His Blood pressure research incorporates elements of Population Risk, Population study, Cardiology, Confidence interval and Physical therapy.

His most cited work include:

  • Genetic variants in novel pathways influence blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk (1543 citations)
  • Six new loci associated with blood low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol or triglycerides in humans. (1180 citations)
  • Reduction of serum cholesterol with sitostanol-ester margarine in a mildly hypercholesterolemic population (687 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Demography, Internal medicine, Risk factor, Epidemiology and Blood pressure. While the research belongs to areas of Demography, Erkki Vartiainen spends his time largely on the problem of Gerontology, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Disease and Psychological intervention. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Diabetes mellitus, Endocrinology and Cardiology.

His Risk factor study combines topics in areas such as Coronary heart disease, Proportional hazards model, Prospective cohort study, Surgery and Relative risk. His Surgery research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Stroke and Cause of death. His work in Epidemiology tackles topics such as Public health which are related to areas like Environmental health.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Demography (31.48%)
  • Internal medicine (25.35%)
  • Risk factor (23.12%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Demography (31.48%)
  • Internal medicine (25.35%)
  • Gerontology (12.81%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Demography, Internal medicine, Gerontology, Environmental health and Risk factor. The Demography study combines topics in areas such as Body mass index, Health examination, Logistic regression, Blood pressure and Depression. His research integrates issues of Endocrinology and Cardiology in his study of Internal medicine.

His Gerontology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Psychological intervention, Epidemiology, Weight loss and Disease. His work investigates the relationship between Epidemiology and topics such as Diabetes mellitus that intersect with problems in Prospective cohort study. His Risk factor research includes themes of Coronary heart disease and Health education.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genetic associations at 53 loci highlight cell types and biological pathways relevant for kidney function (273 citations)
  • Forty-year trends in cardiovascular risk factors in Finland. (172 citations)
  • New loci for body fat percentage reveal link between adiposity and cardiometabolic disease risk (166 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Diabetes mellitus

His main research concerns Demography, Gerontology, Internal medicine, Body mass index and Genome-wide association study. The concepts of his Demography study are interwoven with issues in Logistic regression, Psychiatry, Immunology, Allergy and Blood pressure. His studies in Gerontology integrate themes in fields like Fortification and Dementia, Disease.

Erkki Vartiainen has included themes like Endocrinology and Cardiology in his Internal medicine study. Erkki Vartiainen combines subjects such as Health examination, Leisure time, Total physical activity and Time trends with his study of Body mass index. His work deals with themes such as Odds ratio, Mass index and Minor allele frequency, which intersect with Genome-wide association study.
