RESUMEN
Objective:To analyze the medical knowledge map of lifestyle medicine based on Web of Science database.Methods:“Lifestyle medicine” “lifestyle intervention” “lifestyle medicine strategy” and “lifestyle factor” were used as Mesh terms to search the core collections of Web of Science database. The time span was from January 1st, 2000 to December 31st, 2021. The statistical function of Web of Science database was used for bibliometric analysis, and VOS Viewer software was used for co-occurrence analysis of authors, countries, institutions, keywords, and cited literature, then the visual knowledge maps were drawn.Results:A total of 5 717 articles were included, and the number of published articles from 2000 to 2021 showed an increasing trend. The top 10 authors were from the United States (nine authors) and Finland (one author); high producing countries included the United States (2 882 papers), the United Kingdom (1 254 papers) and Australia (781 papers), and China ranked sixth (499 papers). The most productive institutions were the Union of European Research Universities (946 articles), Harvard University (677 articles), University of California (313 articles), etc. The papers are mainly published in Diabetes, Circulation, BMC Public Health, Obesity, PLoS One, Med Sci Sports Exerc, etc. Five clusters were obtained by co-occurrence of key words, which were “health status” “lifestyle intervention” “lifestyle risk factors” “exercise and weight” and “chronic disease research”. The national cooperation network involves 67 countries. Conclusions:Recently, the research on lifestyle medicine shows a rapid growth trend. The current research interests include behavioral sciences, psychology, nutrition, endocrinology and metabolism, healthcare services, internal medicine, public health, pathology, cardiovascular medicine and geriatrics. Research hotspots include chronic disease and disease burden, whole life-cycle health, nutrition and exercise intervention and behavior change.
