世界年龄人口结构的变化以及预计与年龄有关的疾病（包括痴呆症）发病率的上升，是引起重大公共卫生关切的一个原因。美国和欧洲的主要研究工作都是为了了解痴呆症的发病机制和流行病学。本文概述了欧洲痴呆症研究的历史，并与美国进行了比较。这篇综述强调了美国和欧洲研究人员已经发现并试图解决的共同问题。为了最大限度地从世界各地的研究中获得信息，根据目前的研究实践，需要更好地协调方法。(C) 2011阿尔茨海默病协会。版权所有。
The change in the world's age demographics and the predicted rise in the incidence of age-related diseases, including dementia, is a source of major public health concern. Major research effort in both the United States and Europe has been targeted toward understanding the pathogenesis and epidemiology of dementia. This article presents a general overview of the history of dementia research in Europe and how it compares with that in the United States. The review highlights the common issues which both U.S. and European researchers have identified and attempted to tackle. To maximize information gained from studies across the world, better harmonization of methodology is needed, as informed from current research practice. (C) 2011 The Alzheimer's Association.
