Today, the world population is aging at a fast rate. This scenario of the accelerated aging of human populations entails increased concern for healthy aging that is associated with a rise in scientific production related to the topic. In this study, the Scopus database from Elsevier was used, with a final search carried out on 5 January 2022, and various bibliometric indicators were obtained from SciVal. The study was fundamentally intended to characterize, determine trends, and understand the evolution and current state of research on the concept of "healthy aging" in the last decade. We found that there has been proportionally greater and more accelerated growth in the subject with respect to the general productivity of the world and that countries with high life expectancies tend to have made more effort to investigate this topic. The "hottest" research areas were found to be related to the cognitive aspect and the biological mechanisms involved in aging.
如今，世界人口老龄化速度正在加快。这种人口老龄化加速的情况引发了人们对健康老龄化的更多关注，这也促使与该主题相关的科学研究成果不断增加。在这项研究中，我们使用了爱思唯尔的 Scopus 数据库，最终的搜索时间是 2022 年 1 月 5 日，并从 SciVal 获得了各种文献计量指标。这项研究的基本目的是描述、确定趋势，并理解过去十年中“健康老龄化”这一概念的演变和研究现状。我们发现，与世界整体生产力相比，该主题的增长比例更大、速度更快，而且预期寿命较高的国家往往更努力地研究这一主题。研究发现，最热门的研究领域与认知方面以及衰老过程中的生物学机制有关。
