Obesity is a chronic disease whose origin is determined by genetic factors as well as environmental influences. The prevalence has rapidly increased worldwide in the recent decades. This paper evaluated the research on obesity in the period of 1900 - 2009 in the ISI "Web of Science" by Thomson Reuters. For this purpose scientometric methods were used and the results were graphically illustrated by "Density Equalizing Map Projections". From 1900 till 2009 94.987 published items are the basis for the present qualitative and quantitative data analysis. The publication rates show an exponential growth indicating a pronounced research activity. Concerning the country comparison the United States has the highest number of publications and citations, the highest modified h-index and most academic institutions. This manuscript shows the first comprehensive scientometric data on obesity. In this research area, the United States is a leader and is located at the center of global collaborations.
肥胖是一种慢性疾病，其病因由遗传因素和环境影响共同决定。近几十年来，肥胖症在全球范围内的患病率迅速上升。本文评估了汤姆森路透社ISI “科学网” 中1900 - 2009年期间关于肥胖症的研究。为此，使用了科学计量方法，并通过 “密度均衡地图投影” 对结果进行了图形化展示。从1900年到2009年，94987篇发表的文章是本次定性和定量数据分析的基础。发表率呈指数增长，表明研究活动十分活跃。在国家比较方面，美国的出版物数量和引用次数最多，修正后的h指数最高，学术机构也最多。本手稿展示了关于肥胖症的首批全面科学计量数据。在这个研究领域，美国处于领先地位，位于全球合作的中心。
