“…Also, PubMed addresses the whole health research spectrum, which enables comparative analyses across health research fields. Overall, due its coverage and search facilities, PubMed has been used to analyse publications trends for a variety of contexts and health research fields or topics, [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] including HPSSR topics. 21,22 One of the reasons by which PubMed is suited for analysing publication trends is its comprehensive indexation system, based on Medical Subject Headings (MeSH).…”

Subject Headings (MeSH) are used for this time-trend study. Searches combine MeSH terms for research publications and HPSSR or HRH subjects, except education. Sub-group searches are conducted on: funding support, and high-versus low-and middle-income countries (HICs vs. LMICs). Linear regressions are used for the analysis. Results: HRH research publications rose exponentially (r 2 = 0.94; p < 0.001) from 129 yearly publications in 1990, to 867 in 2018. Yet, HRH research publications had a logarithmic decrease (p < 0.001) in percentage of broader HPSSR publications, from 2.5% to 1.5% [1990-2018]. Funding support increased significantly and linearly (p < 0.001 r 2 = 0.88), up to 44% in 2018. The percentage of HRH research publications addressing LMICs grew linearly (p < 0.001; r 2 = 0.75), up to 23% in 2018. Conclusion: HRH research publications in the PubMed database increased especially in the more recent years but did not outpace (in earlier times was outpaced) by the growth of HPSSR publications overall. Yearly, HICs still accounted for more than three-quarters of HRH research. These findings can inform global and health research policies.

“…In recent decades, in parallel with an increased prevalence of child obesity and overweight, there has been a significant increase in the scientific production addressing this issue. As pediatric obesity is a disease of complex etiology that can condition pluripathologies, and as its treatment and prevention requires multidisciplinary intervention, it is not surprising that numerous scientific publications have addressed its different aspects [19]. For this reason, bibliometric studies could be useful in analyzing the increasing number of articles published in this issue.…”

(1) Introduction: The aim of this study was to analyze scientific production, collaboration among countries, and research topics focusing on pediatric obesity. (2) Methods: The papers that were included in the study were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection from Clarivate Analytics. A bibliometric analysis of several focuses, including journals of publication, subject categories, most frequent author keywords, and journal impact factors, was conducted. Social network analysis was used to recognize collaboration groups between countries and the co-occurrences of author keywords. (3) Results: A total of 12,171 research articles were published in 2036 journals classified under a variety of subject areas, with pediatrics (27.7%), nutrition and dietetics (18.5%), and public environmental and occupational health (18.4%) accounting for the most frequent study areas, and Pediatric Obesity (309), the International Journal of Obesity (299), and BMC Public Health being the most productive journals. The main challenges identified for pediatric obesity include general topics such as physical activity, nutrition, diet, and prevention as well as other more specific challenges such as metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, eating behavior, and cardiovascular diseases. (4) Conclusions: We observed a growth rate in the number of published articles of 59.8%, which serves as evidence of the importance of the topic. The number of funded papers also doubled from 2010 to 2019. There has been significant global collaboration on the topic, with countries across five continents being involved. The results of the thematic analysis reveal the importance of exercise and nutrition-related topics along with specialized health terms and terms related to public health.

“…However, the quality of evidence was deemed to be low and a high risk of bias was identified. Since then, there has been increased interest in this field given the increasing prevalence of paediatric obesity 13. This systematic review will update the effectiveness of weight management interventions on preschool age children since the Cochrane review in 2016 12…”

Objectives(1) To summarise the literature on the impact of paediatric weight management interventions on health outcomes in preschool age children with overweight or obesity and (2) to evaluate the completeness of intervention description and real-world applicability using validated tools.DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis.Data sourcesMEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library and PsychInfo were searched between 10 March 2015 and 21 November 2021.Eligibility criteriaRandomised controlled trials addressing weight management in preschool children (2–6 years) with overweight or obesity.Data extraction and synthesisTwo reviewers independently extracted key information from each study and assessed risk of bias. Random-effects meta-analysis was performed where there was evidence for homogeneous effects. The certainty of evidence was assessed by the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation.ResultsOf the 16 908 studies retrieved, 9 trials (1687 participants) met the inclusion criteria. These interventions used motivational interviewing (MI) or multicomponent educational interventions related to health behaviour approaches and were 6–12 months in duration. All studies contained some risk of bias. A difference was found in the intervention groups compared with controls for body mass index (BMI) z score (mean difference −0.10, 95% CI −0.12 to −0.09; eight trials, 1491 participants; p<0.001; I2 68%), though there was substantial heterogeneity. There were no subgroup effects between studies using MI compared with studies using multicomponent interventions. The certainty of the evidence was considered low. The trials were reported in sufficient detail and were considered pragmatic.ConclusionsPaediatric weight management interventions delivered to the parents of young children with obesity result in small declines in BMI z score. The results should be interpreted cautiously as they were inconsistent and the quality of the evidence was low.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42020166843.
