Bibliographic Analysis of Aging Anxiety and Lifestyle

With the recent increase in the older adults population, interest in successful aging is increasing. Aging anxiety, a psychological mechanism that affects successful aging, refers to the inability to feel stable due to worry or fear in old age, which negatively affects the older adult‘s feelings of depression and quality of life. According to a study on successful aging and aging anxiety, it was recently reported that aging anxiety can be prevented by realizing healthy aging through lifestyle intervention. To date, studies analyzing aging anxiety and lifestyle from a macro perspective are insufficient. To compensate for these limitations, bibliographic analysis methods that derive the characteristics of academic literature from bibliographic information are used. Since it is essential to understand research trends from a macroscopic point of view at a time when the need for research on aging anxiety and lifestyle is emphasized, in this study, the flow of research on aging anxiety and lifestyle is identified to prepare basic data for future research.
