Abstract

Health literacy among aging people is a critical factor in managing dementia and cognitive decline. It is associated with better health outcomes, lower healthcare utilization, and higher compliance with preventive services. Bibliometrix package under R environment was employed to analyze the database from the Web of Science with the topical search strategy of “health literacy” AND “aging” and “dementia* or cognitive*”. Of 875 articles, 746 are included for further analysis. A steady rise in research evident in the publication growth of 17.33% per year. Key contributors are the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom, engaging in domestic and multi-country collaborations, with China and Japan following. Authors’ keywords analysis reveals the central theme is health literacy, closely tied to older adults, also associated with dementia and cognition. Thematic evolution emphasizes impactful themes like dementia, mental health, and epidemiology. Certain topics are poised for transition, including physical activity, age, randomized clinical trials, and health literacy in connection with aging. Keyword plus analysis from smaller timeframes, especially in the last decade, highlights concerns necessitating proactive measures for dementia and cognitive decline, emphasizing awareness, nutrition, mental health, technology, and educational preparedness for early intervention.
