Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics
  • Cancer

Gerard Hoek focuses on Environmental health, Environmental exposure, Cohort study, Environmental chemistry and Black smoke. His Environmental health research includes themes of Respiratory disease, Incidence, Life expectancy, Disease and Public health. The Environmental exposure study combines topics in areas such as Prospective cohort study, Inhalation exposure, Air quality index, Lung cancer and Risk factor.

His Cohort study research incorporates themes from Asthma, Cohort and Population study. His study in Environmental chemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soot, Nitrogen dioxide, Elemental composition and Absorbance. His studies deal with areas such as Relative risk, Ozone and Seasonality as well as Black smoke.

His most cited work include:

  • Association between mortality and indicators of traffic-related air pollution in the Netherlands: a cohort study (1311 citations)
  • Long-term air pollution exposure and cardio- respiratory mortality: a review. (996 citations)
  • A review of land-use regression models to assess spatial variation of outdoor air pollution (837 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Environmental health, Environmental exposure, Land use regression, Spatial variability and Cohort study. His work deals with themes such as Epidemiology, Incidence, Confidence interval, Asthma and Cohort, which intersect with Environmental health. His Asthma research includes themes of Odds ratio, Pediatrics and Allergy.

His work on Air pollutants expands to the thematically related Environmental exposure. His study on Spatial variability also encompasses disciplines like

  • Urban background together with Environmental chemistry,
  • Environmental engineering, which have a strong connection to Air quality index. He has researched Cohort study in several fields, including Confounding and Hazard ratio.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental health (34.44%)
  • Environmental exposure (12.86%)
  • Land use regression (10.79%)

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

  • Environmental health (34.44%)
  • Exposure assessment (7.26%)
  • Incidence (7.88%)

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

Gerard Hoek mainly focuses on Environmental health, Exposure assessment, Incidence, Confounding and Epidemiology. His Environmental health study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Odds ratio, Asthma, Cohort study and Confidence interval. In his research on the topic of Exposure assessment, Statistics, Spatial variability, Explained variation, Ultrafine particle and Physical geography is strongly related with Land use regression.

The Incidence study combines topics in areas such as Nitrogen dioxide, Proportional hazards model, Environmental exposure, Hazard ratio and Cohort. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Air quality index and Animal science. His research integrates issues of Prospective cohort study, Disease, Immunology and COPD in his study of Cohort.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Green space definition affects associations of green space with overweight and physical activity. (62 citations)
  • Spatial PM2.5, NO2, O3 and BC models for Western Europe - Evaluation of spatiotemporal stability. (57 citations)
  • Air Pollution Exposure During Fetal Life, Brain Morphology, and Cognitive Function in School-Age Children (57 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics
  • Cancer

His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental health, Confounding, Incidence, Odds ratio and Traffic noise. His research in Environmental health intersects with topics in Road traffic, Quartile and Air pollutant concentrations. His Confounding research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Epidemiology, Fine particulate, Gastroenterology, Confidence interval and Multilevel model.

His research investigates the connection with Gastroenterology and areas like Cancer which intersect with concerns in Cohort study. His Incidence study also includes

  • Proportional hazards model which connect with Environmental exposure,
  • Nitrogen dioxide, which have a strong connection to Childhood asthma, Oncology, Brain tumor and Air quality index. His work focuses on many connections between Odds ratio and other disciplines, such as Logistic regression, that overlap with his field of interest in Population study.
