Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Psychiatry

His scientific interests lie mostly in Internal medicine, Gerontology, Randomized controlled trial, Dementia and Endocrinology. The Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Placebo and Psychiatry, Depression. His Psychiatry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Homocysteine and Cognitive decline.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Epidemiology, Cohort study, Demography, Quality of life and Cohort. His work carried out in the field of Randomized controlled trial brings together such families of science as Rate ratio, Physical therapy and Adverse effect. His Dementia research incorporates elements of Alzheimer's disease and Inter-rater reliability.

His most cited work include:

  • Effect of physical activity on cognitive function in older adults at risk for Alzheimer disease: a randomized trial. (1190 citations)
  • A Pooled Analysis of Vitamin D Dose Requirements for Fracture Prevention (603 citations)
  • Association between alcohol and cardiovascular disease:Mendelian randomisation analysis based on individual participant data (400 citations)

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

Internal medicine, Gerontology, Dementia, Psychiatry and Depression are his primary areas of study. His research investigates the connection between Internal medicine and topics such as Endocrinology that intersect with problems in Context. His research investigates the connection with Gerontology and areas like Cohort study which intersect with concerns in Risk factor and Bipolar disorder.

Leon Flicker combines subjects such as Alzheimer's disease, Nursing, Cognition and Pediatrics with his study of Dementia. His Depression study combines topics in areas such as Physical therapy and Randomized controlled trial. His study in Odds ratio is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cross-sectional study, Vitamin D and neurology and Confidence interval.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (52.83%)
  • Gerontology (41.84%)
  • Dementia (37.00%)

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

  • Internal medicine (52.83%)
  • Dementia (37.00%)
  • Endocrinology (22.62%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Dementia, Endocrinology, Gerontology and Hazard ratio. Leon Flicker focuses mostly in the field of Internal medicine, narrowing it down to matters related to Oncology and, in some cases, Case-control study and Vitamin D and neurology. His Dementia study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Psychological intervention, Family medicine, Hearing loss, Depression and Risk factor.

His studies deal with areas such as Disease and Quality of life as well as Gerontology. Leon Flicker has researched Hazard ratio in several fields, including Stroke, Longitudinal study, Pediatrics and Cohort study. He works mostly in the field of Prospective cohort study, limiting it down to topics relating to Testosterone and, in certain cases, Confidence interval, as a part of the same area of interest.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • International Clinical Practice Guidelines for Sarcopenia (ICFSR): Screening, Diagnosis and Management (182 citations)
  • Physical Frailty: ICFSR International Clinical Practice Guidelines for Identification and Management (89 citations)
  • Hearing loss and the risk of dementia in later life. (46 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Psychiatry

Leon Flicker mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Prospective cohort study, Dementia and Hazard ratio. In general Endocrinology, his work in Body mass index, Diabetes mellitus and Bone remodeling is often linked to N-terminal telopeptide linking many areas of study. Leon Flicker works mostly in the field of Prospective cohort study, limiting it down to topics relating to Prostate and, in certain cases, Incidence and Confounding.

His Dementia research incorporates themes from Gerontology and Ageing. His Hazard ratio research includes themes of Longitudinal study and Cohort study. His study looks at the relationship between Longitudinal study and topics such as Confidence interval, which overlap with Depression.
