Research on bone density in children with diabetes has attracted increasing attention, and this study aims to investigate the global status and trends in this field.From the Web of Science's Science Citation Index, research papers related to bone density in children with diabetes from 1984-2022 were retrieved. Source data were studied and indexed using bibliometric methods. The visualization study used VOS viewer software for literature coupling, co-authorship, co-citation and co-occurrence analysis to analyze the publication trend of bone density in children with diabetes.A total of 1074 articles were included. Globally, the number of related research interests and publications is increasing every year. The United States contributes the most to global research, receives the most citations, and has the highest h-index. The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism has the highest number of publications.The university of pennsylvania,Childrens hospital of philadelphia,Pennsylvania medicine,Harvard university and university of Sydney are the largest contributors. Research can be divided into four categories: mechanistic research, animal research, clinical trials, and tissue engineering. Mechanism research is expected to be the next hot topic in this field.From the current global research trend, the number of papers on bone density in children with diabetes will continue to increase. The United States is the largest contributor in this area. Much of the effort is devoted to the mechanisms of changes in bone density in children with diabetes, which could be the next hot spot in research.
