This study employed bibliometric methods to evaluate publication trends on the role of nutrition in sarcopenic obesity from 2002 to 2022 using the Web of Science Core Collection database. CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and the Bibliometrix R package were used to construct network diagrams. Annual publications showed intense growth, with more than 100 articles published each year after 2018. The University of Alberta, Yonsei University, and Korea University were major research institutions. Clinical Nutrition published the most papers and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition was the most co-cited journal. The study notes that research has been limited to clinical trials and lacks basic mechanistic studies, and that small sample sizes and racial and sexual homogeneity in included studies hinder progress. The authors suggest that research is shifting from clinical trials toward basic research and becoming increasingly deeper.
