Global obesity research trends during 1999 to 2017

Abstract

Obesity has been a field of intense research in the last 19 years. By reasonably analyzing the author keywords and the distribution of journals, "bariatric surgery" (especially "sleeve gastrectomy") and "obese complications" (especially "diabetes mellitus," "metabolic syndrome," "depression," and "polycystic ovary syndrome") will undoubtedly maintain the hotspots of obesity research in the next few decades.
