Abstract
Objective
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age, with significant implications for metabolic, reproductive, and psychological health. The objective of the study is to conduct a 10-year bibliometric analysis of research trends on lifestyle modifications in PCOS treatment.
Methodology
This bibliometric analysis examines the 10-year research landscape (2015–2024) on lifestyle modification for PCOS management, analyzing global trends, key contributors, and thematic advancements using Web of Science data and VOS viewer tool. A total 2214 studies has been selected for bibliometric analysis.
Result
Results indicate a steady increase in research output, highest between 2022 and 2023, underscoring the growing recognition of lifestyle interventions. Monash University emerged as the leading institution, driving high-impact research, and fostering global collaborations. The USA, China, and England dominates the research landscape, while emerging nations like India and Iran contribute culturally tailored interventions. Key authors, including Helena Teede and Lisa Moran, play central roles, reflected in their high publication counts and citation impacts. Keyword analysis highlights weight loss, obesity, insulin resistance, and quality of life as primary research focuses, with recent trends (2021–2024) exploring gut micro biota optimization, oxidative stress, and mindfulness-based interventions.
Conclusion
Despite progress, contributions from Africa and South America highlight the need for global equity in research. This analysis highlights dynamic research shifts, emerging trends, and the critical need for global equity and collaboration to advance evidence-based lifestyle interventions for PCOS management.
目的多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)是一种影响育龄妇女的常见内分泌疾病,对代谢、生殖和心理健康具有重要影响。本研究的目的是对PCOS治疗中生活方式改变的研究趋势进行10年文献计量学分析。本文献计量分析研究了10年(2015-2024)关于生活方式改变对PCOS管理的研究概况,分析了全球趋势、主要贡献者和专题进展,使用Web of Science数据和VOS查看工具。共选取2214项研究进行文献计量学分析。结果表明,研究产出稳步增长,在2022年至2023年期间达到最高水平,突显出人们对生活方式干预的认识日益增强。莫纳什大学成为领先的机构,推动高影响力的研究,促进全球合作。美国、中国和英国在研究领域占据主导地位,而印度和伊朗等新兴国家则贡献了适合其文化的干预措施。包括Helena Teede和Lisa Moran在内的主要作者发挥了核心作用,这反映在他们的高发表量和引用影响上。关键词分析强调减肥、肥胖、胰岛素抵抗和生活质量是主要的研究重点,最近的趋势(2021-2024)是探索肠道微生物群优化、氧化应激和基于正念的干预。尽管取得了进展,但来自非洲和南美洲的贡献强调了全球研究公平的必要性。这一分析强调了动态的研究转变、新趋势以及全球公平和合作的迫切需要,以推进以证据为基础的生活方式干预对多囊卵巢综合征的管理。
