Abstract
Background
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a transitional stage between normal aging and the onset of dementia. The early detection of MCI is essential to avoid certain irreversible brain damage at the end of life. While there have been a variety of preventive interventions used in the past three decades, need to know the current trends is necessary for developing updated preventive modules for MCI.
Objectives
This bibliometric study examines the current trends in interventional research for treating MCI.
Methods
Published records were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) for the period of 1989–2023. CiteSpace 6.2.R4 (64-bit) advanced version software was utilized for mapping and bibliometric analysis of this study. Overall, 400 records were retrieved and analyzed using document co-citation analysis (DCA), author co-citation analysis (ACA), institutional, country based, and keyword analysis.
Results
It was found that the publication records were steadily increased in the recent five years (2018–2022) and shows that more than half of the interventional studies (234) were conducted on the recent times. Although United States (US) published highest number of publications (115), Canada secured top position based on burst (3.89) in country wise analysis. In ACA, Petersen RC_2003 secured top position based on citation counts (237), Rapp S_2006 on Burst strength (10.69), Ball K_2006 on Centrality (0.19) and Sigma value (2.00). Through the DCA analysis, clusters such as computerized cognitive training, virtual reality, rhythm training, and dance intervention, were considered to be the indicators of emerging trends.
期刊介绍：
As a quarterly peer-reviewed journal that has existed for over three decades, Ageing International serves all professionals who deal with complex ageing issues. The journal is dedicated to improving the life of ageing populations worldwide through providing an intellectual forum for communicating common concerns, exchanging analyses and discoveries in scientific research, crystallizing significant issues, and offering recommendations in ageing-related service delivery and policy making. Besides encouraging the submission of high-quality research and review papers, Ageing International seeks to bring together researchers, policy analysts, and service program administrators who are committed to reducing the ''implementation gap'' between good science and effective service, between evidence-based protocol and culturally suitable programs, and between unique innovative solutions and generalizable policies. For significant issues that are common across countries, Ageing International will organize special forums for scholars and investigators from different disciplines to present their regional perspectives as well as to provide more comprehensive analysis. The editors strongly believe that such discourse has the potential to foster a wide range of coordinated efforts that will lead to improvements in the quality of life of older persons worldwide.
