Global trends and focuses of GLP-1RA in obesity: A bibliometric analysis and visualization from 2014 to 2024
Purpose
Obesity is a multifaceted disease with complex causes, distinct pathophysiology, numerous comorbidities, and significant health impacts. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have become leading pharmacological options for its management. Our objective was to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the literature on GLP-1RAs in obesity within the Scopus database and identify relevant articles published between 2014 and 2024.
Methods
We perform a systematic bibliometric analysis to identify key trends, major sources, and emerging topics in GLP-1RA obesity research. The data were analyzed using VOS viewer (Var1.6.20) and the Biblioshiny tool.
Results
A total of 1702 documents were analyzed. Research output remained steady from 2014 to 2020 (approximately 50 documents per year), followed by exponential growth starting in 2020, peaking in 2024 (566 documents). The average number of citations per article peaked at 92 in 2018 before it dropped to 7 in 2024. Among the 130 contributing countries, the United States led with 25.9 % of publications. HOLST J.J. (University of Copenhagen) was the most prolific author (45 publications, 1901 citations, h-index 22). “Diabetes, obesity and metabolism” was the most active journal, publishing 105 articles. (h_index: 39, impact factor: 5.4 (2023)).
Keywords and thematic analyses revealed increasing research interest in specific agents (e.g., Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and Dulaglutide) and in themes such as body weight loss, heart failure, cohort analysis, and long-term follow-up. Liraglutide and Semaglutide are the most studied. Keyword analysis did not highlight safety concerns related to cancer risk, as previously speculated.
Conclusion
This bibliometric analysis shows rapid growth in GLP-1RA obesity research, underscoring the need to expand focus beyond efficacy to long-term safety, real-world outcomes, and equitable access through international collaboration.

期刊介绍:
The official journal of the Shanghai Diabetes Institute Obesity is a disease of increasing global prevalence with serious effects on both the individual and society. Obesity Medicine focusses on health and disease, relating to the very broad spectrum of research in and impacting on humans. It is an interdisciplinary journal that addresses mechanisms of disease, epidemiology and co-morbidities. Obesity Medicine encompasses medical, societal, socioeconomic as well as preventive aspects of obesity and is aimed at researchers, practitioners and educators alike.
