Abstract

This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of the literature on health disparities influenced by racism and social stratification. Based on data obtained from the Scopus database, this analysis identifies trends and gaps in research related to health inequalities caused by social factors, particularly racism and social inequality. Keyword mapping, Word Cloud visualization, and co-occurrence analysis reveal strong correlations between key topics such as health disparities, racism, social determinants of health, inequality, and mental health. The findings also show the dominance of countries such as the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom in health disparities literature, as well as significant contributions from developing countries such as Guatemala and Brazil. Leading authors and institutions, such as King's College London and New York University, play a central role in shaping this research. These findings indicate the need for further studies that integrate various social factors to holistically understand the impact of health disparities and to develop more effective policies.
