The Development Trend and Hot Frontiers of Student Nutrition Research at Home and Abroad Since the New Century

The nutritional and health status of students is related to the national physical fitness and population quality, economic development and social stability, and more importantly, the implementation of the Healthy China strategy. This article uses Cite Space software to visually analyze literature on student nutrition in CNKI and WOS databases since the 21st century, to grasp the development process, research hots-pots, and cutting-edge dynamics of student nutrition research, and provide references for future research. Research has found that fruitful results have been achieved in student nutrition research both domestically and internationally. In China, research mainly focuses on topics such as student nutrition status and nutrition education, while abroad places more emphasis on empirical research, mainly exploring topics such as nutrition intake, energy consumption, and medical nursing education. Compared to China, foreign countries attach more importance to this field, with closer cooperation and exchanges between research institutions, and more prominent strength of higher education institutions.
