Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Cognition

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Dementia, Internal medicine, Gerontology, Cognition and Cognitive decline. Her Dementia research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Psychiatry, Proportional hazards model, Alzheimer's disease, Physical therapy and Risk factor. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Diabetes mellitus and Endocrinology.

Kristine Yaffe has included themes like Body mass index, Cohort study, Cross-sectional study, Activities of daily living and Cohort in her Gerontology study. Her research integrates issues of Gait, Observational study, Digit symbol substitution test and Estrogen in her study of Cognition. Her Cognitive decline research includes elements of Type 2 diabetes and Bioinformatics.

Her most cited work include:

  • Toward defining the preclinical stages of Alzheimer's disease: Recommendations from the National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer's Association workgroups on diagnostic guidelines for Alzheimer's disease (4395 citations)
  • The projected effect of risk factor reduction on Alzheimer's disease prevalence (1728 citations)
  • Potential for primary prevention of Alzheimer's disease: an analysis of population-based data (1279 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Dementia, Gerontology, Cognition, Internal medicine and Cognitive decline. Her Dementia research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Alzheimer's disease, Psychiatry, Depression and Pediatrics. Her studies in Gerontology integrate themes in fields like Body mass index, Epidemiology, Cohort study, Cross-sectional study and Risk factor.

Her research in Cognition intersects with topics in Young adult, Digit symbol substitution test and Clinical psychology. Her Internal medicine research includes themes of Endocrinology and Cardiology. Kristine Yaffe has included themes like Cognitive disorder and Audiology in her Cognitive decline study.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Dementia (44.69%)
  • Gerontology (38.63%)
  • Cognition (35.68%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Dementia (44.69%)
  • Cognition (35.68%)
  • Gerontology (38.63%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Dementia, Cognition, Gerontology, Internal medicine and Disease. She works on Dementia which deals in particular with Cognitive decline. Her research investigates the connection with Cognitive decline and areas like Cohort study which intersect with concerns in Hazard ratio.

In her research on the topic of Cognition, Prospective cohort study is strongly related with Young adult. Kristine Yaffe has researched Internal medicine in several fields, including Diabetes mellitus, Endocrinology, Oncology, Cardiology and Traumatic brain injury. Her Disease study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Risk factor.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Association between circadian rhythms and neurodegenerative diseases. (143 citations)
  • Association between circadian rhythms and neurodegenerative diseases. (143 citations)
  • Associations of Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Levels During Young Adulthood With Later Cardiovascular Events (72 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Cognition

Kristine Yaffe focuses on Dementia, Cognition, Internal medicine, Cognitive decline and Gerontology. Her Dementia research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Confidence interval, Hazard ratio, Cohort and MEDLINE. Her Cognition study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Young adult, Clinical psychology and Audiology.

Her Internal medicine study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Endocrinology, Depression, Oncology, Phenotype and Traumatic brain injury. Her Cognitive decline study incorporates themes from Neuroimaging, Longitudinal study, Framingham Risk Score and Proportional hazards model. Her research investigates the connection between Gerontology and topics such as Activities of daily living that intersect with issues in Social support and Severe dementia.
