Analysis of Research Hotspots and Trends of Chronic Disease Prevention for People with Disabilities from the Perspective of Health Humanities

This study aims to grasp the current status and future directions of chronic disease prevention research for people with disabilities. Using data from CNKI, Wanfang Database, and the Web of Science Core Collection, bibliometric analysis and visualization tools such as VOSviewer were employed to generate keyword clustering maps and other analytic outputs. Results reveal a significant gap in publication volume between domestic and international research, with the latter's content expanding beyond disease treatment to increasingly incorporate health humanities. Future chronic disease prevention for people with disabilities in China should move beyond cross-sectional studies and adopt a holistic, life-course health perspective. Emphasis should be placed on enhancing intrinsic motivation among disabled individuals to foster proactive health behaviors. Furthermore, tailored health guidelines for people with disabilities should be developed to improve practicality, highlighting the integration of health humanities from a human-centered perspective.
