Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Cognition

His main research concerns Framingham Heart Study, Internal medicine, Cognitive test, Dementia and Cognition. His Framingham Heart Study study incorporates themes from Physical therapy, Neuropsychological test, Verbal fluency test, Prospective cohort study and Cohort. The concepts of his Internal medicine study are interwoven with issues in Endocrinology and Cardiology.

His Cognitive test research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Body mass index, Obesity, Cohort study, Cognitive deficit and Developmental psychology. His Dementia research is mostly focused on the topic Cognitive disorder. His Cognitive skill study, which is part of a larger body of work in Cognition, is frequently linked to Context, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His most cited work include:

  • The Preclinical Phase of Alzheimer Disease: A 22-Year Prospective Study of the Framingham Cohort (614 citations)
  • Lower cognitive function in the presence of obesity and hypertension: the Framingham heart study (553 citations)
  • Lower cognitive function in the presence of obesity and hypertension: the Framingham heart study (553 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Cognition, Blood pressure, Internal medicine, Dementia and Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance. His research in Cognition intersects with topics in Developmental psychology, Longitudinal study, Gerontology and Clinical psychology. His studies deal with areas such as Body mass index, Physical therapy and Verbal memory as well as Blood pressure.

His Internal medicine research integrates issues from Diabetes mellitus, Endocrinology and Cardiology. His Dementia study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Obesity, Cognitive test, Cognitive deficit, Stroke and Cohort. His study on Framingham Heart Study is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Cognitive disorder.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cognition (35.19%)
  • Blood pressure (34.57%)
  • Internal medicine (35.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Cognition (35.19%)
  • Blood pressure (34.57%)
  • Longitudinal study (20.37%)

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

Merrill F. Elias mostly deals with Cognition, Blood pressure, Longitudinal study, Internal medicine and Cardiology. The various areas that he examines in his Cognition study include Dementia, Clinical psychology and Renal function. His Dementia research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Odds ratio, Randomized controlled trial, Pleasure and Cognitive test.

His research integrates issues of Stroke, Verbal memory, Sitting and Emergency medicine in his study of Blood pressure. Merrill F. Elias works mostly in the field of Internal medicine, limiting it down to topics relating to Diabetes mellitus and, in certain cases, Surgery, as a part of the same area of interest. His Cardiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pulse wave velocity and Arterial stiffness.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Chocolate intake is associated with better cognitive function: The Maine-Syracuse Longitudinal Study (42 citations)
  • Daily chocolate consumption is inversely associated with insulin resistance and liver enzymes in the Observation of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Luxembourg study. (17 citations)
  • Habitual chocolate intake and type 2 diabetes mellitus in the Maine-Syracuse Longitudinal Study: (1975-2010): Prospective observations (16 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Psychiatry

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cognition, Longitudinal study, Internal medicine, Dementia and Epidemiology. His work in Cognition addresses subjects such as Blood pressure, which are connected to disciplines such as Clinical trial, Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Cognitive skill. His study on Longitudinal study also encompasses disciplines like

  • Diabetes mellitus which is related to area like Prospective analysis, Cardiology, Arterial stiffness and Pulse wave velocity,
  • Pulse wave most often made with reference to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Cross-sectional study and Endocrinology in addition to Internal medicine. His work deals with themes such as Kidney disease, Renal function, Randomized controlled trial, Cognitive test and Comorbidity, which intersect with Dementia. Within one scientific family, Merrill F. Elias focuses on topics pertaining to Depression under Epidemiology, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Body mass index, Sex characteristics, Obesity, Gerontology and High body mass index.
