| Summary: | Background:
Osteoporosis (OP) is the second most detrimental chronic disease, and thus novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are needed. In recent years, there has been an increased emphasis on the utilization of gut microbiota (GM) in the context of OP. However, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis on this subject is currently lacking. Furthermore, a deeper exploration of the role of GM in bone health is imperative, and there is a pressing need to foster international and inter-agency exchange and experience in this field. Accordingly, this study aimed to provide an overview of the research trends in this field and propose suggestions for related scientific and technological research and development.
Methods:
The Web of Science database was searched for articles related to both GM and OP. Statistical analyses and data visualization were performed using the EXCEL and CiteSpace software.
Results:
China exhibited the highest number of publications, followed by the United States. NUTRIENTS and Sichuan University were identified as the journal and institution, respectively, with the highest number of articles. Notably, the keywords "gut microbiota" and "bone loss" have been increasingly used in publications.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, this study fills the existing gap in the literature and contributes valuable insights to the understanding of the relationship between GM and OP. |
