Abstract

Sarcopenia is characterized by progressive loss of muscle mass and function, and it is becoming a serious public health problem with the aging population. However, a comprehensive overview of the knowledge base and future trends is still lacking. The articles and reviews with "sarcopenia" in their title published from 1999 to 2021 in the SCIE database were retrieved. We used Microsoft Excel, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace to conduct a descriptive and bibliometric analysis. A total of 3582 publications were collected, from 4 published in 2000 increasing dramatically to 850 documents in 2021. The USA was the most productive country, with the most citations. The Catholic University of the Sacred Heart and Landi F were the most influential organization and author in this field, respectively. The core journal in this field was the . According to the analysis of keywords and references, we roughly categorized the main research areas into four domains as follows: 1. Definition and diagnosis; 2. Epidemiology; 3. Etiology and pathogenesis; 4. Treatments. Comparing different diagnostic tools and the epidemiology of sarcopenia in different populations are recent hotspots, while more efforts are needed in the underlying mechanism and developing safe and effective treatments. In conclusion, this study provides comprehensive insights into developments and trends in sarcopenia research that can help researchers and clinicians better manage and implement their work.
