Because of population ageing, there will be a vast increase in the prevalence of cognitive decline and dementia. Physical activity and sedentary behaviour have been identified as modifiable lifestyle behaviours associated with these cognitive conditions. Therefore, the aim of this bibliometric analysis is to reveal the knowledge structure of the field of physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and cognitive function among older adults from 2004 to 2024, and to predict emerging research trends. A total of 1290 publications were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. CiteSpace and VOSviewer were applied to conduct performance analysis, science mapping, and enrichment. T. Liu-Ambrose was the most prolific author (39 publications), and the University of British Columbia was the most prolific institution (48 publications). The USA, China, and Canada were the three most productive countries with 392, 174, and 136 publications respectively. Two research trends revealed the knowledge structure of this field, including the shift from evaluating the effectiveness of interventions on cognitive function to evaluating the effectiveness of interventions on other health-related outcomes, as well as an expansion of research on the role of physical activity and sedentary behaviour in the context of healthy ageing. Sleep, sedentary behaviour, and virtual reality may be emerging research trends and may predict directions for future research. Collectively, this bibliometric analysis provides a one-step overview of the knowledge structure in this field for researchers and other stakeholders, as well as a reference for future research.
由于人口老龄化，认知能力下降和痴呆症的患病率将会大幅增加。身体活动和久坐行为已被确定为与这些认知状况相关的可改变生活方式行为。因此，本文献计量分析的目的是揭示 2004 年至 2024 年期间老年人身体活动、久坐行为和认知功能领域的知识结构，并预测新兴研究趋势。从 Web of Science 核心合集共检索到 1290 篇出版物。CiteSpace 和 VOSviewer 用于进行绩效分析、科学制图和富集分析。T. Liu-Ambrose 是最有影响力的作者（39 篇出版物），不列颠哥伦比亚大学是最有影响力的机构（48 篇出版物）。美国、中国和加拿大是三个最具生产力的国家，分别有 392、174 和 136 篇出版物。两个研究趋势揭示了该领域的知识结构，包括从评估干预对认知功能的有效性转向评估干预对其他健康相关结果的有效性，以及扩大对身体活动和久坐行为在健康老龄化背景下作用的研究。睡眠、久坐行为和虚拟现实可能是新兴的研究趋势，并可能预测未来研究的方向。总之，这项文献计量分析为研究人员和其他利益相关者提供了该领域知识结构的一步概述，并为未来的研究提供了参考。
