| Summary: | Objective: The purpose of this study was to employ bibliometric analysis to visualize hot spots and evolving trends in the studies on the relationship between vitamin D and obesity. Methods: From the Web of Science Core Collection database, articles on vitamin D and obesity from 2001 to 2021 were retrieved. For the bibliometric visualization analysis, CiteSpace was employed. Some of the figures were created using GraphPad software. Results: 4454 pieces of articles and reviews were found, with an average citation of 30.68 times. There are many more published papers in the area of ''nutrition dietetics'' (1166, 26.179 %). The United States possesses the largest number of publications (1297, 29.12 %) and demonstrates definitive leadership in this field. The League of European Research Universities generates a higher percentage of publications (256, 5.748 %) than other institutions. Major studies are funded by the United States Department of Health and Human Services (531, 11.922 %) and the National Institutes of Health, USA (528, 11.855 %). The top five keywords with the highest co-occurrence frequency are "obesity" (1260), "vitamin d" (943), "insulin resistance" (651), "risk" (642), and "d deficiency" (636). The biggest keyword cluster was #0 ''adolescent'' among the 18 keyword clusters. The three latest keywords in the keyword burst were ''mineral density''、''d insufficiency'' and ''25 hydroxyvitamin d concentration''. Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis shows an overview of the current status of the research on the association between vitamin D and obesity. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and the relationship between vitamin D and metabolic syndrome in obese individuals remains hot topics. We speculate that the effect of obesity on vitamin D levels and bone mineral density, and the influence of vitamin D insufficiency on various body systems in obese populations will be future trends. |
