Abstract

Background: While the number of lifestyle intervention studies for women with obesity continues to increase, the research trends related to this topic should be evaluated through text network analysis.

Methods: A total of 231 relevant studies published in international journals between 2011 and 2021 were identified. Semantic morphemes of the abstracts were refined, and a co-occurrence matrix with 117 keywords was generated using the text network analysis program NetMiner 4.3.

Results: The core keywords were determined as the top 25 in degree centrality, closeness centrality, or betweenness centrality. 'Lifestyle', 'Intervention', 'Diet', 'Exercise', 'Diabetes mellitus', 'Body', 'Composition', 'Quality of life', 'Obesity', 'Gain', 'Diet', and 'Loss' were the most frequently used keywords.

Conclusion: The findings of this study provide a general overview of the research trends in lifestyle interventions for women with obesity and may be used as reference for future research.

Keywords: Lifestyle; Obesity; Women.
