Yuan Zhang: Co-Calibration of Cognitive Performance of the National Health and Aging Trends Study with Health and Retirement Study’s Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol: Implications for Dementia Classification

Yuan Zhang will present as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2024-2025 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series.
Yuan Zhang – Assistant Professor of Sociomedical Sciences (in the Robert N. Butler Columbia Aging Center). Yuan Zhang’s research examines how social factors across different life stages influence aging-related outcomes, with an emphasis on populations in less economically developed countries. She also studies population health trends to uncover how disease burden, dementia, and mortality are unfolding in the population, and how they are linked to other structural changes such as increasing education.
