- Mobile Interventions for Reducing Sedentary Behavior and Promoting Physical Activity among Office Workers: Bibliometric Study Baskaran Chandrasekaran Chythra R. Rao Life Style Physical Activity Level Employees Office Occupations Health Promotion Intervention Telecommunications Handheld Devices Geographic Location Research Health Behavior Behavior Change Foreign Countries Mobile technologies have become key tools to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior among office workers. While workplaces serve as ideal settings for implementing such interventions, bibliometric analyses of the growing literature evaluating their effectiveness remain limited. The aim of this bibliometric analysis was to examine trends in research productivity and impact of m-health within workplace-related literature. Six databases including Web of Science, Scopus, Ovid Medline, Cochrane Central, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Library, and Embase were searched for the studies that have explored the m-health interventions to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior among office workers on February 12, 2024. The studies were downloaded as BibTex files and analyzed for productivity, citation impact, and intellectual structure (conceptual and social structural) using Biblioshiny, Bibliometrix software. In total, 113 studies were identified with 10% of studies published in "JMIR mHealth and uHealth" and "BMC Public Health." Mair JL, 2022 was found to be a significant contributor to the evidence. Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States continue to dominate the contributions. M-health, obesity, physical activity, and validity were among the most frequently used terms, whereas digital health, development, and adherence remain underrepresented in the literature. Research on m-health to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior among office workers is growing, predominantly in high-income countries. However, interdisciplinary collaboration and studies integrating behavioral science, primary care, digital development, and end-user acceptability remain limited and are urgently needed.
