这项研究的目的是在一系列具体假设下，对未来30年内有认知障碍的老年人的人数、他们对长期护理服务的需求以及他们未来的护理费用进行预测。认知障碍是痴呆症的表现之一。最常见的痴呆综合征是阿尔茨海默病（AD），其次是血管性痴呆（亨德森和Jorm，2000）。它还着手探讨可能影响与认知障碍相关的未来长期护理支出的因素。这些因素不仅包括未来老年人人数和未来认知障碍的发生率，还包括家庭组成趋势、非正规护理的提供、护理服务模式和护理单位成本。
This study aimed to make projections, for the next 30 years, of future numbers of older people with cognitive impairment, their demand for long-term care services and the future costs of their care under a range of specified assumptions. Cognitive impairment is one of the manifestations of dementia. The most common dementia syndrome is Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), followed by vascular dementia (Henderson and Jorm, 2000). It also set out to explore the factors that are likely to affect future long-term care expenditure associated with cognitive impairment. These factors include, not only future numbers of older people and future prevalence rates of cognitive impairment, but also trends in household composition, provision of informal care, patterns of care services and the unit costs of care.
