Research Hotspots and Frontiers of Alzheimer ’s Disease and Gut Microbiota: A Knowledge Mapping and Text Mining Analysis

This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric and visual analysis of published studies related to gut microbiota and AD. Based on the Web of Science Core Collection SCI-Expanded database, we utilize Excel 2019 and v isualization analysis tools VOSviewer, Co-Occurrence13.2 (COOC13.2), Citespace, HistCite, and Bibliometrix (R-Tool of R-Studio) for analysis. A total of 1093 related kinds of literature were included, and the number of papers presented an overall increasing trend. The country/region with the most p ublications is China, the institution is Zhejiang University, the author is Walter J Lukiw from the USA, and the journal is theJournal of Alzheimer ’s Disease. Hotspot research areas include the relationship between gut microbiota metabolism and AD, AD treatments related to the gut microbiota, and diseases related to AD and gut microbiota. The future research direction may be T cells, NLRP3 inflammasome, andPorphyromonas gingivalis. Studies on AD and gut microbiota have grown rapidly in recent years.  Our research results may provide valuable references for readers and help researchers better find new research directions in the future.
