ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1123/japa.2015-0188 | Abstract: | Physical activity and aging research has burgeoned in the past few decades. However, despite the increase in scholarly publications, no attempts have been made to summarize the publication landscape and identify work that has had great impact on physical activity and aging research. We conducted a bibliometric analysis and collected publication data from 1980 to February 6, 2015, in the Web of Science Core Collection. Of 9,935 publications, most were published after 2007 and almost 60% were in the category of geriatrics and gerontology or sport sciences. Highly cited publications (n = 45) were mostly authored by researchers from US institutions and were quantitative in nature. Publications that reported on the associations between physical activity and health, or effects of physical activity on health, in older adults made up 60% of the highly cited publications. We expect more scholars from various backgrounds and geographical regions to join the conversation on physical activity and aging. | Source Title: | Journal of Aging and Physical Activity | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/137349 | ISSN: | 10638652 | DOI: | 10.1123/japa.2015-0188 |
