PROJECT SUMMARY The protective effect of education against Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) is found to be smaller for racial/ethnic minority individuals than for non-Hispanic White individuals. Identifying factors that modify or mediate the education-ADRD relationship presents a unique opportunity to address the racial/ethnic disparities in ADRD and ultimately improve population health. However, most research relies on respondents’ education to assess the education-ADRD relationship, failing to consider the roles of other family member’s education or the social context and environment in which education occurs and affects ADRD. The major goal of the proposed research is to develop a novel framework that incorporates multigenerational education and multidomain contextual measures and use it to clarify the heterogeneous effects of education on ADRD risk among racial/ethnic groups by analyzing nationally representative longitudinal data. We propose to achieve this goal through three specific aims. In Aim 1, we will develop a multigenerational framework and use it to estimate the effect of multigenerational education on the respondent’s ADRD risk and the racial/ethnic disparities. Aim 2 is to construct multidomain contextual measures of structural inequality and racism and estimate their effects on individual’s ADRD risk and the racial/ethnic disparities. To provide historical and population contexts for understanding results from Aims 1 and 2, in Aim 3 we will estimate how education effects on ADRD risk may differ across four birth cohorts. The proposed research is significant because it will help reduce racial/ethnic disparities in cognitive impairment and ADRD risk by clarifying multigenerational pathways and identifying mediators and modifiers of the heterogeneous education-ADRD relationships among demographic groups. The proposed research is innovative because it will develop a new multigenerational and multilevel mediation approach to understanding why the education-ADRD risk relationship differs among racial/ethnic groups. It will also contribute new contextual data to a nationally representative data set.

项目概要 研究发现，教育对阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆症 (ADRD) 的保护作用是 少数种族/族裔个体比非西班牙裔白人个体要小。确定因素 修改或调解教育-ADRD 关系为解决种族/族裔问题提供了独特的机会 ADRD 的差异并最终改善人口健康。然而，大多数研究依赖于受访者的 教育来评估教育与ADRD关系，没有考虑其他家庭成员的角色 教育或教育发生并影响 ADRD 的社会背景和环境。主要目标 拟议研究的目的是开发一个新颖的框架，将多代教育和 多领域背景测量，并用它来阐明教育对 ADRD 风险的异质影响 通过分析具有全国代表性的纵向数据，对种族/族裔群体进行调查。我们建议实现这一目标 通过三个具体目标来实现目标。在目标 1 中，我们将开发一个多代框架并用它来估计 多代教育对受访者 ADRD 风险和种族/民族差异的影响。目标2 是构建结构性不平等和种族主义的多领域背景衡量标准，并评估其对 个人的 ADRD 风险和种族/民族差异。提供历史和人口背景 了解目标 1 和 2 的结果后，在目标 3 中，我们将估计教育对 ADRD 风险的影响如何 四个出生队列之间存在差异。 拟议的研究意义重大，因为它将有助于减少认知障碍方面的种族/民族差异 和 ADRD 风险，通过阐明多代途径并确定调节因素和调节因素 人口群体之间的异质教育-ADRD 关系。拟议的研究是 创新，因为它将开发一种新的多代和多层次的调解方法来理解 为什么教育与 ADRD 风险关系在种族/族裔群体之间存在差异。也将贡献新的 将上下文数据转换为具有全国代表性的数据集。
