Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Cancer

His primary scientific interests are in Asthma, Environmental health, Epidemiology, Pediatrics and Internal medicine. His study in Asthma is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Demography, Bronchial hyperresponsiveness and Allergy. The concepts of his Environmental health study are interwoven with issues in Indoor air quality and Environmental planning.

He has included themes like Cohort study, Cross-sectional study, Eye irritation, Exposure measurement and Throat irritation in his Epidemiology study. His Pediatrics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Psychological intervention and Respiratory health, Respiratory tract infections, Respiratory system. His work in Internal medicine addresses issues such as Surgery, which are connected to fields such as Toxicology, Compost and Significant difference.

His most cited work include:

  • The Association between Asthma and Allergic Symptoms in Children and Phthalates in House Dust : A Nested Case-Control Study (647 citations)
  • Phthalates in indoor dust and their association with building characteristics (303 citations)
  • Dampness in buildings as a risk factor for health effects, EUROEXPO: a multidisciplinary review of the literature (1998-2000) on dampness and mite exposure in buildings and health effects (252 citations)

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

Torben Sigsgaard spends much of his time researching Asthma, Environmental health, Immunology, Internal medicine and Allergy. His Asthma study combines topics in areas such as Demography, Incidence, Pediatrics and Respiratory system. His study brings together the fields of Odds ratio and Demography.

His study focuses on the intersection of Environmental health and fields such as COPD with connections in the field of Pulmonary disease. His study in Bronchial hyperresponsiveness extends to Immunology with its themes. Torben Sigsgaard works in the field of Internal medicine, focusing on FEV1/FVC ratio in particular.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Asthma (33.80%)
  • Environmental health (26.00%)
  • Immunology (18.60%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Environmental health (26.00%)
  • Asthma (33.80%)
  • COPD (6.80%)

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

Torben Sigsgaard focuses on Environmental health, Asthma, COPD, Cohort and Internal medicine. His research investigates the connection between Environmental health and topics such as Nitrate that intersect with issues in Water quality. His studies deal with areas such as Offspring, Odds ratio, Demography, Allergy and Pediatrics as well as Asthma.

His Allergy study is concerned with Immunology in general. His COPD study incorporates themes from Logistic regression, Pulmonary disease, FEV1/FVC ratio, Physical examination and Spirometry. The Cohort study combines topics in areas such as Wheeze and Air pollution.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Multiancestry association study identifies new asthma risk loci that colocalize with immune-cell enhancer marks (203 citations)
  • A joint ERS/ATS policy statement: what constitutes an adverse health effect of air pollution? An analytical framework (188 citations)
  • The Occupational Burden of Nonmalignant Respiratory Diseases. An Official American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society Statement. (79 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Cancer

Torben Sigsgaard mainly investigates Environmental health, Asthma, Epidemiology, COPD and Respiratory system. His work deals with themes such as Coal, Water quality, Public health, Interstitial lung disease and Nitrate, which intersect with Environmental health. His Asthma study is focused on Immunology in general.

His studies in Epidemiology integrate themes in fields like Offspring, Demography, Hazard ratio, Organic dust and Confounding. His work on Respiratory health as part of general Respiratory system study is frequently linked to European community, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Respiratory sounds and Case-control study.
