Abstract

Introduction: Cognitive impairment and depression are widespread, debilitating conditions that significantly impact quality of life and present major public health challenges. This study aimed to explore the intersection of cognitive impairment and depression, identifying trends, major contributors, influential studies, and emerging research subjects.

Methods: We conducted a bibliometric analysis using the Scopus database on July 21, 2024, covering the literature from 2000 to 2024. Data were extracted and analyzed using R (version 4.3.3) with the bibliometrix package and "biblioshiny" web interface for visualization. The analysis included assessing publication trends, identifying the leading authors, evaluating major journals, and tracking institutional contributions. Keyword co-occurrence and thematic tracking were used to explore the research focus subjects and evolving trends.

Results: Two thousand and fifty-one articles were identified, with annual scientific production showing a 7.71% growth rate, from 18 articles in 2000 to 195 articles in 2022. The average number of citations per article fluctuated, previously increasing but declining in recent years. The leading journals included the Journal of Affective Disorders and the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry. The leading authors were Zhang Y and Li Y, with significant contributions from the University of Toronto and the University of California. The USA led in article production, followed by China and Canada, with extensive international collaboration. The most cited document was that of Rock etal.,with 1336 citations. The keyword analysis highlighted "depression" as the most frequent term, and thematic tracking revealed distinct clusters of nonhuman and human research.

Discussion: This study's results inform future research guidelines and underscore the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to address these interrelated conditions. It contributes to the existing literature by tracking the evolution and current state of research and guiding future studies toward emerging themes and gaps in this faculty.

引言认知障碍和抑郁症是普遍存在的使人衰弱的病症，严重影响生活质量，对公共健康构成重大挑战。本研究旨在探索认知障碍和抑郁症的交叉学科，确定其发展趋势、主要贡献者、有影响力的研究以及新兴研究课题：我们使用 Scopus 数据库对 2000 年至 2024 年的文献进行了文献计量分析。我们使用 R（4.3.3 版）和 bibliometrix 软件包以及用于可视化的 "biblioshiny "网络界面对数据进行了提取和分析。分析包括评估出版趋势、确定主要作者、评估主要期刊以及跟踪机构贡献。关键词共现和主题跟踪被用来探索研究重点课题和演变趋势：结果：共发现 251 篇文章，年科研成果增长率为 7.71%，从 2000 年的 18 篇增加到 2022 年的 195 篇。每篇文章的平均引用次数有所波动，以前有所增加，但近年来有所下降。主要期刊包括《情感障碍杂志》和《美国老年精神病学杂志》。主要作者是Zhang Y和Li Y，多伦多大学和加利福尼亚大学也做出了重要贡献。美国的文章数量居首位，其次是中国和加拿大，并有广泛的国际合作。被引用次数最多的是 Rock 等人的文章，引用次数达 1336 次。关键词分析显示，"抑郁 "是出现频率最高的词汇，主题追踪显示了非人类研究和人类研究的独特集群：本研究的结果为未来的研究指导方针提供了参考，并强调了跨学科合作对解决这些相互关联问题的重要性。它通过跟踪研究的演变和现状，为现有文献做出了贡献，并引导未来的研究朝向这一领域的新兴主题和空白方向发展。
