Overview

Tobias Hartmann is affiliated with Saarland University in Germany and has contributed extensively to the field of Medicine, with a focus on subfields including Physiology, Psychiatry and Mental Health, Molecular Biology, Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health, as well as Statistics and Probability.

Their research primarily revolves around topics such as Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, dementia and cognitive impairment research, nutritional studies and diet, diet and metabolism studies, tryptophan and brain disorders, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, and lipid metabolism and biosynthesis.

Hartmann has published research in a number of venues, frequently appearing in:

  • Alzheimer s & Dementia
  • Alzheimer s Research & Therapy
  • The Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer s Disease
  • International Journal of Molecular Sciences
  • Nutrients

Recent significant publications include:

  • World-Wide FINGERS Network: A global approach to risk reduction and prevention of dementia (2020), Alzheimer s & Dementia
  • 36-month LipiDiDiet multinutrient clinical trial in prodromal Alzheimer's disease (2020), Alzheimer s & Dementia
  • Nutrition and the ageing brain: Moving towards clinical applications (2020), Ageing Research Reviews
  • Experiences of dementia and attitude towards prevention: a qualitative study among older adults participating in a prevention trial (2020), BMC Geriatrics
