Abstract

Purpose: The concept of “successful aging” includes various elements such as avoiding illness, high physical and mental functioning, active participation in life, absence of illness, psychological well-being, life satisfaction, financial security and a positive outlook on life. This study aims to reveal the structure and productivity of the fields of study regarding the concept of successful aging. Material and Methods: In this study, the search term “successful aging” was entered into the Scopus database and scanned using the advanced search feature. The bibliometric analysis software VOSviewer (Visualization of Similarities), which is widely used internationally, and the R Studio Biometrix package programs were applied to analyze and visualize the relationships between authors, countries, journals, citations, keywords and themes. Results: There are 6601 authors in 1731 articles downloaded from Scopus with the keyword "successful aging" between 2000-2023. 144 of these authors wrote articles alone. The average number of citations to articles per year is 33.63. In addition, the average age of the articles is 8.67 years. 138 articles were published in 2023, 119 in 2022, 123 in 2021, and 154 in 2020. According to the Sankey diagram, the country that has produced the most works in the field of successful aging is the USA. The author named Pahor M has the most works in the literature and finally successful aging is the most used keyword. Conclusion: It is believed that our findings, which summarize in depth the research conducted on the concept of “successful aging”, will be a guide for the rapidly increasing elderly population. In conclusion, this study provides important and up-to-date information that faculty and students can use in their studies.
