BACKGROUND: Vitamin D plays a critical role in the mechanism of metabolic fatty liver disease.Emerging evidence suggests its potential as both a diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target. Despite growing research interest, systematic analyses of this field remain limited. Purpose: This study conducts a bibliometric and visual analysis of literature on the link between vitamin D and metabolism-related fatty liver disease, mapping the research landscape, trends, hotspots, and frontiers to inform future investigations. METHODS:The Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database was comprehensively explored for literature pertaining to metabolism-related fatty liver disease and vitamin D from 2007 to 2024. Using Citespace (v6.1.R6) and VOSviewer (v1.6.20) software, we evaluated publication trends, regional and national contributions, institutional outputs, journal allocation, author collaborations, reference citations, and keyword patterns. Results: A total of 480 publications were analyzed, demonstrating a consistent annual increase. China, the United States, and Italy emerged as leading contributors, with
