Summary
Exercise interventions for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are a growing research area. Bibliometric analysis reveals key trends, dominant journals, and leading institutions, highlighting the need for integrated and personalized strategies.
Area of Science:
- Geriatrics and Neuroscience
- Cognitive Impairment Research
Background:
- Increasing global aging population necessitates research into interventions for mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
- Exercise interventions are gaining significant research attention for managing MCI.
- Understanding research progress and trends is crucial for advancing the field.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically analyze the research progress and emerging trends in exercise interventions for mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
- To identify key authors, institutions, journals, and keywords in the field using bibliometric analysis.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis using CiteSpace6.3R2.
- Literature search in Web of Science Core Collection for exercise interventions for MCI.
- Analysis of 420 publications, generating visual maps of keywords, authors, and institutions.
Main Results:
- Steady growth in publications, with the USA leading collaborative output and the Chinese University of Hong Kong as the top institution.
- Key authors include Shimada Hiroyuki and colleagues; Petersen, R.C.'s 2018 work is highly cited.
- Prominent keywords include "mild cognitive impairment", "dementia", "Alzheimer's disease", with emerging terms like "systematic review" and "depression".
Conclusions:
- Research on exercise interventions for MCI is an interdisciplinary area dominated by developed countries.
- Current research focuses on intervention design and mechanisms.
- Future directions include integrated strategies, evidence synthesis, and personalized interventions.
