Abstract

Background

Childhood and adolescent obesity have emerged as significant public health concerns, contributing to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) later in life. Over the past four decades, extensive research has examined the relationship between obesity and CVD among young populations, highlighting the need for early intervention strategies. Bibliometric analysis offers a comprehensive overview of research trends, influential studies, and key thematic areas within this field.

Aim of review

This study aims to map the scientific landscape of global research on obesity and cardiovascular disease among children and adolescents from 1984 to 2024. By employing bibliometric methods, we identify prolific authors, leading institutions, impactful publications, and emerging research themes, providing insights into the evolution of this critical area of study.

Key scientific concepts of review

The bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Scopus database, focusing on publication trends, citation networks, and keyword co-occurrence patterns. The study identifies research hotspots, including metabolic risk factors, lifestyle interventions, genetic predisposition, and public health policies targeting obesity-related CVD in young populations. Additionally, the review highlights collaborative networks among global researchers and suggests future directions for advancing knowledge and policy-making in this domain.
