Resumen

Background: Human aging is often associated with diseases that limit quality of life. Therapeutic anti-aging interventions, such as calorie restriction, can slow its progression. Analyzing the main areas of interest in the scientific literature allows us to understand the trends in research on calorie restriction in aging. This research aimed to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to determine the approaches and areas of research activity related to studying calorie restriction in aging and its use as a therapeutic intervention to slow its development. Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted based on publications deposited in Scopus using its API and VOSViewer. Results: A total of 5565 published documents were reviewed. The main keywords were analyzed and grouped into five study groups: risk factors and pathological consequences, biochemical mechanisms linked to caloric restriction and aging, experimental issues and clinical studies, functional aspects of the cell and caloric restriction, and his experimental study. The study shows the trend of increasing publications. Most of these articles are written in English and published in the United States. Conclusions: Calorie restriction in aging is a topic of interest to researchers, and more research is needed to improve its understanding and therapeutic application.
