Abstract

Background: Physical and leisure activities are vital for active aging. Leisure activities among the aging population have received attention from scholars in the recent past. However, the research contributions and trends in this field are unknown. Therefore, a bibliometric analysis was conducted to explore the scholarly contributions in aging and leisure activities to identify the research output trends, assess thematic focuses, and analyze research collaboration patterns.

Methods: We extracted data from the Scopus database for the period 2000-2023 and identified 443 articles focusing on aging and leisure activities. Tools, such as bibliographical coupling networks and thematic analysis, were applied using R and Biblioshiny to uncover core themes and connections.

Results: There has been a significant increase in research output since 2021, with contributions from numerous authors and countries, particularly the United States and China. Thematic analysis reveals central themes, such as physical activity, successful aging, and cognition.

Conclusion: This analysis reveals the evolving nature of scholarly discussions in aging and leisure, highlighting key themes, such as physical activity, cognitive aging, and health promotion. The findings emphasize the growing interest and global collaboration in this interdisciplinary research domain.

2000 至 2023 年老龄化与休闲活动研究趋势的文献计量分析》。
背景:体育和休闲活动对积极老龄化至关重要。近年来,老龄人口的休闲活动受到了学者们的关注。然而,这一领域的研究贡献和趋势尚不为人知。因此,我们对老龄化与休闲活动领域的学术贡献进行了文献计量分析,以确定研究成果趋势、评估主题重点并分析研究合作模式:我们从 Scopus 数据库中提取了 2000-2023 年期间的数据,确定了 443 篇关注老龄化和休闲活动的文章。我们使用 R 和 Biblioshiny 等工具,如书目耦合网络和主题分析,来发现核心主题和联系:结果:自 2021 年以来,研究成果显著增加,来自众多作者和国家,尤其是美国和中国。专题分析揭示了中心主题,如体育活动、成功老龄化和认知:本分析揭示了老龄化与休闲学术讨论不断发展的性质,突出了体育活动、认知老龄化和健康促进等关键主题。研究结果强调了这一跨学科研究领域日益增长的兴趣和全球合作。
