Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Cognition
  • Internal medicine
  • Disease

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cognition, Gerontology, Cognitive decline, Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance and Developmental psychology. His studies in Cognition integrate themes in fields like Psychometrics and Clinical psychology. His Gerontology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Neurocognitive, Verbal memory, Prospective cohort study and Confidence interval.

His Cognitive decline study is concerned with the larger field of Dementia.

His most cited work include:

  • A conceptual framework for research on subjective cognitive decline in preclinical Alzheimer's disease (956 citations)
  • Effect of 3-year folic acid supplementation on cognitive function in older adults in the FACIT trial: a randomised, double blind, controlled trial. (569 citations)
  • Rey's verbal learning test: normative data for 1855 healthy participants aged 24-81 years and the influence of age, sex, education, and mode of presentation. (483 citations)

Martin P.J. van Boxtel works mostly in the field of Cognitive decline, limiting it down to topics relating to Ageing and, in certain cases, COSMIC cancer database, Grey matter, Hippocampal formation and Hippocampus, as a part of the same area of interest.

His studies deal with areas such as Clinical psychology and Risk factor as well as Cognition. Martin P.J. van Boxtel combines subjects such as Intervention, Neuropsychology and Anxiety with his study of Clinical psychology. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of White matter, Diffusion MRI, Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance and Cardiology.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Investigation of antihypertensive class, dementia, and cognitive decline: A meta-analysis (36 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Cognition
  • Disease

Martin P.J. van Boxtel focuses on Dementia, Cohort study, Cognition, Cognitive decline and Internal medicine. The Dementia study combines topics in areas such as Occupational safety and health and Gerontology. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as PsycINFO and Cognition.

His research investigates the link between Cognitive decline and topics such as Verbal memory that cross with problems in Cognitive skill, Cognitive flexibility, Neuropsychology, Anxiety and Verbal fluency test. His Internal medicine study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and Cardiology. His Risk factor study combines topics in areas such as Demography and Clinical psychology.
