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

Demography, Socioeconomic status, Gerontology, Public health and Social class are his primary areas of study. His Demography study incorporates themes from Epidemiology, Marital status, Cause of death, Life expectancy and Injury prevention. His research in Injury prevention focuses on subjects like Suicide prevention, which are connected to Psychiatry.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Odds ratio, Mortality rate, Cohort study and Unemployment in addition to Socioeconomic status.

His study in Demography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Absolute risk reduction and Marital status. Pekka Martikainen combines subjects such as Cohort study, Covariate, Health equity, Sample and Life course approach with his study of Socioeconomic status.
