This study examined the impact of childhood reading disability (RD) on adult educational attainment and income. Participants' (N = 1,344) RD was assessed at age 7, and adult educational attainment and income were assessed in midlife using categorical variables. Participants with RD at age 7 were 74% (95% CI: 0.18, 0.37) less likely to attain a higher level of education and 56% (95% CI: 0.32, 0.61) less likely to attain a higher level of income as an adult than participants with average or above reading achievement at age 7. Attained education was found to mediate the relationship between RD and attained income.
本研究考察了儿童阅读障碍（RD）对成人教育程度和收入的影响。研究参与者（N = 1344）在7岁时接受了阅读障碍评估，成年后的教育程度和收入则在中年时使用分类变量进行评估。与7岁时阅读成绩处于平均水平或以上的参与者相比，7岁时患有阅读障碍的参与者成年后获得更高教育水平的可能性降低了74%（95%置信区间：0.18，0.37），获得更高收入水平的可能性降低了56%（95%置信区间：0.32，0.61）。研究发现，已获得的教育程度在阅读障碍与已获得的收入之间的关系中起中介作用。
