Abstract

Background

Adversity suffered in childhood may profoundly affect aging over the subsequent life cycle. The field of childhood adversity and aging has amassed a certain number of publications, but there are no bibliometric studies in this field.

Methods

Publications in 10 years on childhood adversity and aging were searched in the Web of Science Core Collection. Bibliometric tools were used to analyze and visualize these publications by country, institution, journal, author, keyword, research area, and co-citation.

Results

Four hundred thirty-five publications were retrieved from 2014 to September 21, 2023, with a 4.9% annual growth rate. The United States (251), University of California, San Francisco (59), Elissa S. Epel (11), and Psychoneuroendocrinology (29) were the countries, institutions, authors, and journals contributing the highest number of publications in this field, respectively. "Early-life stress" (87), "depression" (82), "childhood trauma" (69), and "aging" (60) were the keywords that appeared more frequently.

Conclusions

This is the first bibliometric study on childhood adversity and aging. The United States dominates the field regarding publication numbers, research institutions, and researchers. Publications in this field are interdisciplinary, covering several critical subject areas and having far-reaching impacts, with gerontology, neurosciences, psychology, and psychiatry at the core.

从幼年的伤痕到老年的沧桑：揭示童年逆境与衰老的文献计量分析

背景童年时期遭受的逆境可能会对以后生命周期中的衰老产生深远影响。童年逆境与衰老领域已积累了一定数量的出版物，但在这一领域还没有文献计量学研究。结果从 2014 年到 2023 年 9 月 21 日，共检索到 435 篇出版物，年增长率为 4.9%。美国（251篇）、加州大学旧金山分校（59篇）、Elissa S. Epel（11篇）和《精神神经内分泌学》（29篇）分别是该领域发表论文数量最多的国家、机构、作者和期刊。"早期生活压力"（87 篇）、"抑郁"（82 篇）、"童年创伤"（69 篇）和 "衰老"（60 篇）是出现频率较高的关键词。美国在该领域的出版物数量、研究机构和研究人员方面均占主导地位。该领域的出版物以老年学、神经科学、心理学和精神病学为核心，是跨学科的，涉及多个重要学科领域，影响深远。

期刊介绍： Psychoneuroendocrinology publishes papers dealing with the interrelated disciplines of psychology, neurobiology, endocrinology, immunology, neurology, and psychiatry, with an emphasis on multidisciplinary studies aiming at integrating these disciplines in terms of either basic research or clinical implications. One of the main goals is to understand how a variety of psychobiological factors interact in the expression of the stress response as it relates to the development and/or maintenance of neuropsychiatric illnesses.
