Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Disease

Internal medicine, Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Dementia and Genetic association are her primary areas of study. Her Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Endocrinology and Cardiology. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Bioinformatics, Meta-analysis, Disease, Allele and Locus.

Lenore J. Launer works mostly in the field of Genetics, limiting it down to concerns involving Body mass index and, occasionally, Obesity, FTO gene and SH2B1. Her Dementia research includes themes of Alzheimer's disease, Prospective cohort study and Gerontology. Her work carried out in the field of Genetic association brings together such families of science as SNP and Atrial fibrillation.

Her most cited work include:

  • Biological, clinical and population relevance of 95 loci for blood lipids (2887 citations)
  • Meta-analysis of 74,046 individuals identifies 11 new susceptibility loci for Alzheimer's disease (2822 citations)
  • Association analyses of 249,796 individuals reveal 18 new loci associated with body mass index (2399 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Internal medicine, Dementia, Genome-wide association study, Genetics and Gerontology. Her work deals with themes such as Endocrinology and Cardiology, which intersect with Internal medicine. Her studies deal with areas such as Alzheimer's disease, Cognition and Risk factor as well as Dementia.

Her Genome-wide association study research is within the category of Single-nucleotide polymorphism. Lenore J. Launer interconnects Epidemiology and Disease in the investigation of issues within Gerontology. Her studies in Cohort study integrate themes in fields like Odds ratio and Prospective cohort study.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (39.05%)
  • Dementia (21.26%)
  • Genome-wide association study (20.61%)

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

  • Internal medicine (39.05%)
  • Dementia (21.26%)
  • Cardiology (14.64%)

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

Lenore J. Launer spends much of her time researching Internal medicine, Dementia, Cardiology, Genome-wide association study and Genetics. Lenore J. Launer has researched Internal medicine in several fields, including Diabetes mellitus and Type 2 diabetes. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cognition, Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance, Gerontology and Cohort in addition to Dementia.

Her Cardiology research integrates issues from Young adult, Hyperintensity and Risk factor. Her Genome-wide association study research includes elements of SNP, Cholesterol and Genetic association. Her Genetics research incorporates elements of Mean arterial pressure and Pulse pressure.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Effect of Intensive vs Standard Blood Pressure Control on Probable Dementia: A Randomized Clinical Trial. (378 citations)
  • Association of Intensive vs Standard Blood Pressure Control With Cerebral White Matter Lesions. (117 citations)
  • A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies multiple longevity genes (97 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Disease

Lenore J. Launer mostly deals with Internal medicine, Dementia, Genome-wide association study, Genetics and Cardiology. Her Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Diabetes mellitus and Type 2 diabetes. Her work deals with themes such as Hyperintensity, Cognition and Gerontology, which intersect with Dementia.

Her research integrates issues of Coagulation, Polymorphism, Genetic association and Genetic architecture in her study of Genome-wide association study. She has included themes like Blood lipids, Cholesterol and Lipid metabolism in her Genetics study. The concepts of her Cardiology study are interwoven with issues in Magnetic resonance imaging and Risk factor.
