Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Gene

Kenji Wakai mainly investigates Internal medicine, Odds ratio, Cohort study, Surgery and Epidemiology. His Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Gastroenterology, Endocrinology and Oncology. While the research belongs to areas of Odds ratio, Kenji Wakai spends his time largely on the problem of Case-control study, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Lung cancer.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Body mass index, Diabetes mellitus, Relative risk, Proportional hazards model and Cohort in addition to Cohort study. His Surgery research integrates issues from Diabetic nephropathy and Kidney disease. His work carried out in the field of Epidemiology brings together such families of science as Incidence, Disease, Pediatrics and Risk factor.

His most cited work include:

  • Estimation of glomerular filtration rate by the MDRD study equation modified for Japanese patients with chronic kidney disease (434 citations)
  • The relationship between green tea and total caffeine intake and risk for self-reported type 2 diabetes among Japanese adults (355 citations)
  • Prospective Cohort Study of the Risk of Prostate Cancer among Rotating-Shift Workers: Findings from the Japan Collaborative Cohort Study (317 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, Cohort study, Odds ratio, Confidence interval and Endocrinology. Kenji Wakai combines subjects such as Gastroenterology and Oncology with his study of Internal medicine. His Cohort study study incorporates themes from Epidemiology, Gynecology, Hazard ratio, Prospective cohort study and Cohort.

His research integrates issues of Public health and Environmental health in his study of Epidemiology. He has researched Odds ratio in several fields, including Genetics, Logistic regression, Cross-sectional study, Case-control study and Genotype. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Surgery and Confidence interval.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (51.38%)
  • Cohort study (32.66%)
  • Odds ratio (24.59%)

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

  • Internal medicine (51.38%)
  • Cohort study (32.66%)
  • Genome-wide association study (8.62%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Internal medicine, Cohort study, Genome-wide association study, Odds ratio and Genetics. Kenji Wakai has included themes like Endocrinology and Oncology in his Internal medicine study. His Cohort study research includes themes of Cross-sectional study, Hazard ratio, Confidence interval, Prospective cohort study and Confounding.

His Hazard ratio study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cancer, Risk of mortality, Proportional hazards model and Cohort. His studies deal with areas such as Surgery and Epidemiology as well as Confidence interval. His Odds ratio study incorporates themes from Logistic regression, Kidney disease, Gastroenterology, Lower risk and Case-control study.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Identification of six new genetic loci associated with atrial fibrillation in the Japanese population. (77 citations)
  • Identification of 28 new susceptibility loci for type 2 diabetes in the Japanese population. (65 citations)
  • GWAS of clinically defined gout and subtypes identifies multiple susceptibility loci that include urate transporter genes (63 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Gene

Kenji Wakai mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Cohort study, Genome-wide association study, Genetics and Odds ratio. Kenji Wakai combines subjects such as Endocrinology and Oncology with his study of Internal medicine. His Cohort study research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Body mass index, Cancer, Cross-sectional study, Hazard ratio and Prospective cohort study.

His work carried out in the field of Body mass index brings together such families of science as Incidence, Confounding and Risk factor. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Food group, Environmental health, All cause mortality and Epidemiology. His research in Odds ratio intersects with topics in Polygenic risk score, Net reclassification improvement, Bioinformatics, Gastroenterology and Confidence interval.
