Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Gene

His primary scientific interests are in Internal medicine, Prospective cohort study, European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, Cancer and Risk factor. His studies in Internal medicine integrate themes in fields like Endocrinology and Oncology. As a part of the same scientific study, Rudolf Kaaks usually deals with the Oncology, concentrating on Prostate cancer and frequently concerns with Prostate.

His studies deal with areas such as Epidemiology, Cohort study, Environmental health, Relative risk and Gynecology as well as Prospective cohort study. He focuses mostly in the field of European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, narrowing it down to topics relating to Gastroenterology and, in certain cases, Immunology. In his study, Menopause is strongly linked to Endometrial cancer, which falls under the umbrella field of Risk factor.

His most cited work include:

  • Overweight, obesity and cancer: epidemiological evidence and proposed mechanisms (2661 citations)
  • Trends in adult body-mass index in 200 countries from 1975 to 2014: A pooled analysis of 1698 population-based measurement studies with 19.2 million participants (2278 citations)
  • Worldwide trends in body-mass index, underweight, overweight, and obesity from 1975 to 2016: a pooled analysis of 2416 population-based measurement studies in 128·9 million children, adolescents, and adults (2180 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, Prospective cohort study, Oncology and Cancer. His work is dedicated to discovering how Internal medicine, Endocrinology are connected with Insulin-like growth factor and other disciplines. His European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition research integrates issues from Gastroenterology, Proportional hazards model and Hazard ratio.

His Prospective cohort study study deals with Gynecology intersecting with Obstetrics. His work investigates the relationship between Oncology and topics such as Prostate cancer that intersect with problems in Prostate. His Cancer study combines topics in areas such as Lung cancer and Physiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (64.64%)
  • European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (39.50%)
  • Prospective cohort study (38.74%)

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

  • Internal medicine (64.64%)
  • Oncology (32.97%)
  • Prospective cohort study (38.74%)

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

Internal medicine, Oncology, Prospective cohort study, European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition and Breast cancer are his primary areas of study. His work in Cohort, Cancer, Cohort study, Case-control study and Hazard ratio is related to Internal medicine. The various areas that Rudolf Kaaks examines in his Hazard ratio study include Proportional hazards model and Risk factor.

Rudolf Kaaks works mostly in the field of Oncology, limiting it down to topics relating to Single-nucleotide polymorphism and, in certain cases, Type 2 diabetes, as a part of the same area of interest. His study in Prospective cohort study is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Lower risk, Epidemiology and Prostate cancer. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Gastroenterology and Confounding.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Risk thresholds for alcohol consumption: combined analysis of individual-participant data for 599 912 current drinkers in 83 prospective studies (385 citations)
  • Prediction of acute myeloid leukaemia risk in healthy individuals (274 citations)
  • Polygenic Risk Scores for Prediction of Breast Cancer and Breast Cancer Subtypes (257 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Gene

His primary areas of study are Internal medicine, Prospective cohort study, Oncology, Cohort study and Breast cancer. Internal medicine connects with themes related to Gastroenterology in his study. Rudolf Kaaks studies Prospective cohort study, focusing on European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition in particular.

His Oncology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Odds ratio, Relative risk, Carcinoma, Colorectal cancer and Prostate cancer. His Cohort study research incorporates elements of Coronary heart disease, Obesity, Environmental health, Peer review and Type 2 diabetes. His Breast cancer study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Genome-wide association study, Young adult, Metastasis, Obstetrics and Risk factor.
