CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: AN EVALUATION WITH BIBLIOMETRIC DATA

Abstract

Introduction: This study aims to analyze the global distribution, thematic focus, methodological trends, and citation impact of scientific publications situated at the intersection of health and economics. A total of 86 publications retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) database were examined using bibliometric methods. Method: Relevant academic publications were identified by searching the Web of Science database using the keywords “gdp AND cardiovascular diseases AND burden of diseases.” The data obtained were examined using bibliometric analysis methods. This analysis included criteria such as the distribution of publications by year, the most cited authors, the most frequently used keywords, and the most productive institutions. The analysis results were visualised using VOSviewer software. Findings: The vast majority of the analyzed publications were in English (91.8%) and consisted of original research articles (94.2%). Thematic analysis revealed a strong emphasis on health and environmental topics. The category "Public, Environmental & Occupational Health" accounted for 35.6% of the publications, followed by cardiovascular systems, environmental sciences, and health care services. Geographically, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Russia were the leading contributors. Citation analysis revealed a high academic impact, with an average of 33.0 citations per publication. The studies primarily employed econometric modeling, spatial analysis, cost-effectiveness analyses, and indicators such as DALY, YLL. The most frequently addressed diseases included cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, and infectious diseases, while major risk factors identified were obesity, smoking, physical inactivity, and environmental exposures. A significant increase in publication volume was observed in the past decade (85% of the studies), indicating a growing scientific interest in this field—particularly in the post-pandemic era. Topics such as health economics, sustainable development, and social determinants of health have gained international attention. These trends underscore the rising importance of interdisciplinary research and its contribution to health policy development Conclusion: The analyzed publications demonstrate that environmental and public health topics are highly prominent, while other health-related disciplines also provide substantial contributions. This indicates that health research requires a multidisciplinary approach and highlights the importance of collaboration across diverse fields.
