Abstract

With the increasing of the global aging population, healthy aging and prevention of age-related diseases have become increasingly important. The liver, a vital organ involved in metabolism, detoxification, digestion, and immunity, holds a pivotal role in the aging process of organisms. Although extensive research on liver aging has been carried out, no bibliometric analysis has been conducted to evaluate the scientific progress in this area.

Research summary

The paper focuses on liver aging, which is a critical aspect of the aging process and its associated diseases. However, it primarily presents a bibliometric analysis rather than original research or novel findings that could significantly advance the understanding of liver aging mechanisms or interventions. While it contributes to the field by mapping existing research, its impact is limited as it does not propose new solutions or insights into the root causes of aging.
