In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Internal medicine, Longitudinal study, Disease, Skeletal muscle and Endocrinology are his primary areas of study.
Luigi Ferrucci has researched Internal medicine in several fields, including Oncology and Cardiology.
His work carried out in the field of Longitudinal study brings together such families of science as Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Linear regression, Demography, Rating of perceived exertion and Physiology.
His research investigates the connection between Physical medicine and rehabilitation and topics such as Cognition that intersect with issues in Gerontology and Dementia.
His Disease research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Diabetes mellitus, Arterial disease and Clinical trial, Bioinformatics.
His biological study deals with issues like Mitochondrion, which deal with fields such as Oxidative phosphorylation.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Inflammageing: chronic inflammation in ageing, cardiovascular disease, and frailty (458 citations)
- Chronic inflammation in the etiology of disease across the life span (312 citations)
- DNA methylation GrimAge strongly predicts lifespan and healthspan (231 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Internal medicine
- Gene
- Disease
Luigi Ferrucci spends much of his time researching Internal medicine, Longitudinal study, Disease, Gerontology and Endocrinology.
Luigi Ferrucci is involved in the study of Internal medicine that focuses on Biomarker in particular.
His study on Longitudinal study also encompasses disciplines like
- Brain size, which have a strong connection to Entorhinal cortex and Neurodegeneration,
- Rating of perceived exertion together with Physical therapy,
- Body mass index which is related to area like Cohort study, Odds ratio and Confidence interval.
His research in Disease intersects with topics in Diabetes mellitus, Vitamin D and neurology, Arterial disease and Clinical trial.
His research investigates the link between Gerontology and topics such as Cognition that cross with problems in Psychosocial.
The various areas that Luigi Ferrucci examines in his Endocrinology study include Coronary artery disease and Senescence.
