"A number of recent population-based studies from high-income countries around the world have found declines in the prevalence or incidence of significant cognitive impairment or dementia over the last 25 years. Recent attention has been paid to the potential contribution of educational achievement in both lower-income and higher-income countries in the last 40 years to this decline as well as potential reduction in AD that might be achieved by improved access to education. It is important to know the implications of trends in educational attainment for future trends in the prevalence and incidence of dementia/AD for patients, families, and society. Understanding the extent to which rising levels of education accounts for the decline in dementia risk not only helps researchers better model and estimate the future AD and dementia burden in the US and worldwide, but it also points to opportunities for public health interventions to reduce AD. The Committee on Population (CPOP) proposes to conduct a one-day expert meeting on the Effect of Education on Recent Dementia Trends. The expert meeting will be held in Washington, DC, and will address the following issues/questions: 1) Consider the evidence for a significant contribution of increasing educational attainment to the decline in cognitive impairment/dementia observed in the literature; 2) How does education contribute to declines in the age-specific risk of dementia? 3) What are the implications for future trends in the prevalence and incidence of dementia/AD for patients, families, society? 4) What are the current “best practices” for the treatment of population stratification effects in comparative analyses?

“最近来自世界各地高收入国家的一些基于人口的研究发现，在过去25年里，严重认知障碍或痴呆症的患病率或发病率有所下降。最近已注意到，在过去40年里，低收入和高收入国家的教育成就对这一下降的潜在贡献，以及通过改善受教育机会可能实现的AD的潜在减少。了解受教育程度的趋势对痴呆/AD患者、家庭和社会的患病率和发病率的未来趋势的影响是很重要的。了解教育水平的提高在多大程度上导致痴呆风险的下降，不仅有助于研究人员更好地建模和估计美国和全世界未来的AD和痴呆负担，而且还指出了公共卫生干预减少AD的机会。人口委员会建议举行为期一天的专家会议，讨论教育对近期痴呆症趋势的影响。专家会议将在华盛顿特区举行，并将讨论以下问题：1)考虑文献中观察到的提高教育程度对认知障碍/痴呆的下降有重要贡献的证据；2)教育如何有助于降低特定年龄痴呆风险？3)痴呆/AD的患病率和发病率对患者、家庭和社会的未来趋势有何影响？4)目前比较分析中处理人口分层效应的“最佳做法”是什么？
