Abstract:
Research on osteoporosis is a well-developed and promising research field. The top 100 literature included 73 articles and 27 reviews. The average citation number was 747 (range 370 to 2970). Researchers and institutions from the USA, the UK, and France contributed the most to the top high-cited articles.
Purpose:
To provide a bibliometric and visualized analysis of the top 100 highly cited articles on osteoporosis indexed by the Web of Science (WoS) from 1990 to 2019.
Methods:
Data were obtained from the WoS Core Collection on Jan 10, 2020. Qualitative and quantitative analysis was conducted based on WoS. Collaboration analysis and keywords analysis were performed using VosView software.
Results:
A total of 12,863 references were obtained. The top 100 highly cited literature included 73 articles and 27 reviews. The average citation number of the 100 articles was 747 (range 370 to 2970). The fund sources mostly came from the USA. A total of 29 journals published the top 100 highly cited literature. The New England Journal of Medicine had the largest number of papers and the highest total cited times. The USA published 72 articles. The University of California San Francisco published 17 articles, followed by University of Sheffield and Mayo Clinic and Mayo Foundation. Cooper C had the most publications (n = 12) and Genant HK had the largest total citation (n = 11,055). Considering only the first author and corresponding author, Kanis JA had published the most articles. Researchers and institutions from the USA, the UK, and France contributed the most to the top high-cited articles.
Conclusions:
Research on osteoporosis is a well-developed and promising research field. The top 100 articles have been cited widely and actively. New England Journal of Medicine was the most popular journal. The most productive country was the USA. The University of California San Francisco, University of Sheffield, and Mayo Clinic and Mayo Foundation were the most productive institutions. Cooper C, Kanis JA, and Genant HK were the most prolific and influential authors. Researchers and institutions from North America and Europe contributed the most.

01:31Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling
01:29Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Calcium and Phosphorus
Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...

Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...

Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...
01:25Role of Vitamins in Maintaining Bone Health
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is involved in the process of bone remodeling. Retinoic acid, the active metabolite of Vitamin A, has nuclear receptors in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are involved in bone remodeling.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor during the formation of osteoblast-related proteins, such as osteocalcin. Vitamin B12 plays a role...
