Weight loss is an appropriate approach to reduce the health risks associated with overweight/obese children and adolescents, and the optimal method of weight loss requires further research. This study systematically explores scientific co-operation, disciplinary interaction, hotspots and trends in the field of weight loss in overweight/obese children and adolescents (WLOCA), and provides references for further research.
Citespace 5.8.R1 (64-bit) was adopted to conduct a comprehensive visualization analysis of the literature on WLOCA from Web of Science Core Collection, including publication, institution, country/region, author, journal, keywords and reference.
2,513 papers were found in the Web of Science Core Collection, and the annual number of papers published has increased significantly since 2003. Cincinnati Children's Hospital is the institution with the largest number of publications, while Washington University plays a pivotal role in the collaboration network. In terms of nations, USA has made greater contributions than the rest in terms of the number of publications and global co-operation research. The most influential authors in this field are Thomas H. Inge, Thomas Reinehr, Todd M. Jenkins, Epstein LH, Ogden CL, etc. The most active journals are "," "," "," "," etc. which are characterized by interdisciplinary interactions. Research hot topics mainly include "assessment of obesity and pathophysiological mechanism," "comprehensive intervention," and "bariatric surgery," and there's a gradual shift from "lifestyle intervention" and "pathophysiological mechanism" to "clinical surgical application." In addition, disciplinary integration and comprehensive research, targeted intervention and treatment, and prospective research are the future research trends.
The overall trend in WLOCA study is positive. The main contribution of this study is to reveal the overall picture of the research in this field with visual maps and detailed data by combining quantitative with qualitative approaches, which can provide valuable references for relevant researchers to quickly understand the status of studies on WLOCA, to seek co-operation, and grasp research hotspots and frontier trends.
减轻体重是减少超重/肥胖儿童和青少年相关健康风险的一种适当方法，而最佳的减肥方法需要进一步研究。本研究系统地探讨了超重/肥胖儿童和青少年减肥（WLOCA）领域的科学合作、学科互动、热点和趋势，并为进一步的研究提供了参考。
采用 Citespace 5.8.R1（64 位）对 Web of Science 核心合集收录的 WLOCA 文献进行全面的可视化分析，包括文献出版、机构、国家/地区、作者、期刊、关键词和参考文献。
在 Web of Science 核心合集中共发现 2513 篇文献，自 2003 年以来，发表论文的年度数量显著增加。辛辛那提儿童医院是发表论文数量最多的机构，而华盛顿大学在合作网络中起着关键作用。就国家而言，美国在出版物数量和全球合作研究方面的贡献大于其他国家。该领域最有影响力的作者是 Thomas H. Inge、Thomas Reinehr、Todd M. Jenkins、Epstein LH、Ogden CL 等。最活跃的期刊是 " " " " " 等，这些期刊具有跨学科互动的特点。研究热点主要包括“肥胖评估和病理生理机制”、“综合干预”和“减肥手术”，并且从“生活方式干预”和“病理生理机制”逐渐向“临床手术应用”转变。此外，学科融合与综合研究、针对性干预与治疗、前瞻性研究是未来的研究趋势。
WLOCA 研究的总体趋势是积极的。本研究的主要贡献是通过定量与定性相结合的方法，用可视化图谱和详细数据揭示了该领域的整体研究情况，为相关研究人员快速了解 WLOCA 研究的现状、寻求合作以及把握研究热点和前沿趋势提供了有价值的参考。
