What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Internal medicine
- Disease
- World War II
His scientific interests lie mostly in Internal medicine, Body mass index, Demography, Genome-wide association study and Endocrinology.
His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Diabetes mellitus and Type 2 diabetes.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Pregnancy, Obesity and FTO gene.
His research integrates issues of Epidemiology, Cohort study, Gerontology, Socioeconomic status and Pediatrics in his study of Demography.
His research in Genome-wide association study focuses on subjects like Bioinformatics, which are connected to Mendelian randomization.
His research investigates the link between Endocrinology and topics such as Offspring that cross with problems in Birth weight.
His most cited work include:
- Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test (29082 citations)
- A common variant in the FTO gene is associated with body mass index and predisposes to childhood and adult obesity (3415 citations)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
George Davey Smith mainly focuses on Mendelian randomization, Particle physics, Large Hadron Collider, Internal medicine and Genome-wide association study.
His Mendelian randomization study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Body mass index, Odds ratio, Mendelian Randomization Analysis, Disease and Confounding.
His studies in Body mass index integrate themes in fields like Longitudinal study, Demography and Obesity.
His studies examine the connections between Confounding and genetics, as well as such issues in Observational study, with regards to Causal inference.
His work deals with themes such as Endocrinology, Oncology and Cardiology, which intersect with Internal medicine.
George Davey Smith is investigating Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Genetics as part of his examination of Genome-wide association study.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The MR-Base platform supports systematic causal inference across the human phenome (899 citations)
- Reading Mendelian randomisation studies: a guide, glossary, and checklist for clinicians (406 citations)
- Risk thresholds for alcohol consumption: combined analysis of individual-participant data for 599 912 current drinkers in 83 prospective studies (385 citations)
