This study was designed to explore the relationship between Alzheimer's disease (AD) rates and socioeconomic conditions in 120 countries. We used mixed effect models to investigate the relationship between the rates of AD and socioeconomic data. This study is among the first studies to put forward statistical evidence of a significant association between AD and other dementias among the elderly and socioeconomic inequality. These findings could help to inform the policies to be designed to improve the quality of interventions for AD.
本研究旨在探究120个国家中阿尔茨海默病(AD)发病率与社会经济状况之间的关系。我们使用混合效应模型来研究AD发病率与社会经济数据之间的关系。本研究是最早提出统计学证据证明老年人中AD及其他痴呆症与社会经济不平等之间存在显著关联的研究之一。这些发现有助于为旨在提高AD干预质量而设计的政策提供参考。
