Significant advancements have been made in the field of clinically relevant fat research over the past decade. A systematic analysis of publications in this domain is essential. This study aims to identify research hotspots and evolving trends in clinically relevant adipose tissue research through bibliometric analysis.
Publications related to fat clinical research from 2014 to 2023 were extracted and analyzed from the Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection database. The data from this 10-year period were divided into two 5-year intervals (2014-2018 and 2019-2023) for analysis. Various aspects such as author keywords, countries, institutions, authors, and journal co-occurrence were studied. The data were analyzed and visualized using VOSviewer.
After selecting the retrieval strategy, a total of 892 publications were extracted for the period 2014-2018 and 1622 publications for 2019-2023. Comparing the two intervals, the United States was the country with the highest number of publications (354 publications vs. 546 publications). The institution with the highest output was Peking Union Medical College (26 publications vs. 87 publications). The most prolific author was Klinger M (4 publications) vs. Hua Zuguang (18 publications). The most active journal was Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (178 publications) vs. Aesthetic Surgery Journal (244 publications). The most active research areas were focused on "fat grafting," "liposuction," and "body contouring," with a rapid increase in research related to "facial rejuvenation" using fat grafting, suggesting it may be the next research hotspot.
Clinical research related to fat is rapidly evolving. This study provides a visual network and trend analysis of fat research over the past decade.

在过去十年中，临床相关脂肪研究领域取得了重大进展。对该领域的出版物进行系统分析至关重要。本研究旨在通过文献计量分析确定临床相关脂肪组织研究的热点和发展趋势。
从Web of Science（WOS）核心合集数据库中提取并分析2014年至2023年与脂肪临床研究相关的出版物。将这10年的数据分为两个5年区间（2014 - 2018年和2019 - 2023年）进行分析。研究了作者关键词、国家、机构、作者和期刊共现等各个方面。使用VOSviewer对数据进行分析和可视化。
选择检索策略后，2014 - 2018年共提取了892篇出版物，2019 - 2023年提取了1622篇出版物。比较这两个区间，美国是出版物数量最多的国家（354篇对546篇）。产出最高的机构是北京协和医学院（26篇对87篇）。最多产的作者是克林格·M（4篇）对华祖光（18篇）。最活跃的期刊是《整形与重建外科》（178篇）对《美容外科杂志》（244篇）。最活跃的研究领域集中在“脂肪移植”“吸脂术”和“身体塑形”，使用脂肪移植进行“面部年轻化”相关研究迅速增加，表明这可能是下一个研究热点。
与脂肪相关的临床研究正在迅速发展。本研究提供了过去十年脂肪研究的可视化网络和趋势分析。
