- Genetics
Ageing, Longevity, Senescence, Genetics and Gerontology are his primary areas of study.
His Ageing research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Resource, Health care, Organism, Biomarker and Cross-cultural.
His work deals with themes such as Evolutionary biology, Heritability and Natural selection, which intersect with Longevity.
Many of his research projects under Senescence are closely connected to Mechanism with Mechanism, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
The various areas that Thomas B. L. Kirkwood examines in his Gerontology study include Internal medicine, Cohort study, Risk factor, Oncology and Immunosenescence.
His research integrates issues of Higher animals, Famine, Physiology and Reproductive success in his study of Evolution of ageing.
His most cited work include:
- Why do we age (1355 citations)
- Developmental plasticity and human health (1308 citations)
- Understanding the odd science of aging (1287 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Thomas B. L. Kirkwood focuses on Gerontology, Ageing, Longevity, Genetics and Senescence.
His study looks at the intersection of Gerontology and topics like Life expectancy with Developed country.
His Ageing study improves the overall literature in Internal medicine.
His Longevity study which covers Demography that intersects with Offspring.
His Senescence research is included under the broader classification of Cell biology.
His study in Evolution of ageing is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Evolutionary biology, Ecology and Natural selection.
He most often published in these fields:
- Gerontology (28.75%)
- Ageing (21.62%)
- Longevity (17.94%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Gerontology, Ageing, Demography, Cohort study and Evolution of ageing.
His Gerontology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Activities of daily living, Life expectancy, Hazard ratio, Prospective cohort study and Cohort.
Thomas B. L. Kirkwood has included themes like Population ageing and Disease in his Life expectancy study.
His research on Ageing frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Biomarker.
In his study, Longevity, Specialization, Genetic Fitness and Sexual dimorphism is inextricably linked to Offspring, which falls within the broad field of Demography.
The Evolution of ageing study combines topics in areas such as Ecology, Regeneration and Cognitive science.
Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Deciphering death: a commentary on Gompertz (1825) ‘On the nature of the function expressive of the law of human mortality, and on a new mode of determining the value of life contingencies’ (177 citations)
- Age-related frailty and its association with biological markers of ageing. (140 citations)
- Oxidative stress and life histories: unresolved issues and current needs (128 citations)
