Aim: to optimize the scientific search for theoretical and methodological foundations of personal health culture formation by conducting a comprehensive bibliometric analysis in the Scopus database.
Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, the bibliometric analysis of publications in the Scopus scientometric database was used. An analytical query was formed with keywords reflecting the concepts of ‘culture of personal health’, ‘theoretical and methodological foundations’, ‘health care’, etc. Quantitative indicators (dynamics of publications, distribution by industry, geography, and authors) and bibliometric metrics (CiteScore, SIR, SNIP) were selected and analyzed.
Results. 828 scientific publications were identified, 538 of which were published in the last decade, which indicates the actualisation of the problem of health culture formation in the modern scientific space. Most researches are related to the medical field, social sciences, and engineering, which emphasises the interdisciplinary nature of the topic. The leading countries in terms of the number of publications are the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and China. The largest number of sources falls on recent years, which reflects the growing interest in health promotion, in particular, in the context of global challenges.
Conclusions. The results of the study confirm the growing attention to the formation of a culture of personal health as an important component of preventive medicine, education, and social initiatives. The identified trend towards the integration of various fields of knowledge opens up additional prospects for the development of comprehensive methods and strategies in the field of health promotion. In the future, it is advisable to carry out an in-depth analysis of the qualitative aspects of publications, as well as to develop scientifically sound recommendations for the implementation of appropriate approaches in practice.

Keywords: health culture, theoretical and methodological foundations, health promotion, scientometric analysis, Scopus, interdisciplinarity.
