The diagnosis and assessment of Alzheimer's disease is rapidly becoming a major focus of study within the aging population. The increasing proportion of older adults in the United States and the lack of knowledge concerning the causes of Alzheimer's disease have contributed to this increased need for further study. This paper describes a pilot project aimed at regional databases on Alzheimer's disease. The project description also is intended to illustrate the use of a structured systems approach to the system development process.
阿尔茨海默病的诊断与评估正迅速成为老年人群体研究的一个主要焦点。美国老年人口比例的不断增加以及对阿尔茨海默病病因缺乏了解，促使了对进一步研究的需求不断增加。本文描述了一个针对阿尔茨海默病区域数据库的试点项目。该项目描述还旨在说明在系统开发过程中使用结构化系统方法的情况。
