Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Genetics

His main research concerns Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Body mass index. His research in Genetics tackles topics such as Case-control study which are related to areas like Underweight and Failure to thrive. His research in Genome-wide association study intersects with topics in SNP, Allele, Genetic association and Locus.

His study in the field of Odds ratio, Risk factor, C-reactive protein and Albuminuria also crosses realms of Cubilin. His Body mass index research includes themes of FTO gene, Obesity and Polysomnography. The various areas that he examines in his Single-nucleotide polymorphism study include KLF14, Cholesterol, SCARB1 and Medical genetics.

His most cited work include:

  • Biological, clinical and population relevance of 95 loci for blood lipids (2804 citations)
  • Six new loci associated with body mass index highlight a neuronal influence on body weight regulation (1434 citations)
  • Modulation of genetic associations with serum urate levels by body-mass-index in humans (1089 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Genetics, Genome-wide association study and Body mass index. His Internal medicine study incorporates themes from Diabetes mellitus and Cardiology. Insulin resistance, Metabolic syndrome, Type 2 diabetes and Adiponectin are subfields of Endocrinology in which his conducts study.

His research related to Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Locus, Allele, Gene and Candidate gene might be considered part of Genetics. His Genome-wide association study research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of SNP and Genetic association. His work deals with themes such as Obesity, Cohort study and Cohort, which intersect with Body mass index.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (43.63%)
  • Endocrinology (26.06%)
  • Genetics (16.41%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (43.63%)
  • Body mass index (13.13%)
  • Endocrinology (26.06%)

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

Internal medicine, Body mass index, Endocrinology, Cohort and Diabetes mellitus are his primary areas of study. His Internal medicine study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Polysomnography and Cardiology. His Body mass index study combines topics in areas such as Obesity and Genome-wide association study.

His Genome-wide association study study often links to related topics such as Genetic association. Endocrinology is often connected to Single-nucleotide polymorphism in his work. His Single-nucleotide polymorphism study deals with the bigger picture of Genetics.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genome-wide physical activity interactions in adiposity. A meta-analysis of 200,452 adults (211 citations)
  • The NoSAS score for screening of sleep-disordered breathing: a derivation and validation study. (106 citations)
  • Low birth weight leads to obesity, diabetes and increased leptin levels in adults: the CoLaus study. (102 citations)
