摘要

关于教育与认知老化之间密切关系的研究大多集中在受教育年限上。我们利用威斯康星州纵向研究（Wisconsin Longitudinal Study）的数据--该研究对 1939 年出生的白人进行了抽样调查--探讨了高中阶段更严格的课程设置是否也与晚年更好的认知功能有关。我们对威斯康星州 308 所高中的 2749 名 1957 年毕业的参与者的数据进行了多层次结构方程模型估计。与学习能力和成绩以及学校层面的财力和物力资源无关，更严格的高中课程与 2020 年（大多数参与者 81 岁）全球认知功能的显著改善相关。最终学位的获得也有明显的中介作用。这种调节作用是有节制的，男性和来自社会经济地位高的家庭的参与者从严格的课程中获益最多。我们讨论了对现代教育政策的影响。

High School Curricular Rigor and Cognitive Function among White Older Adults

Most research on the strong relationship between education and cognitive aging has focused on years of schooling. Using data from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study—a sample of White persons born in 1939—we explored whether greater curricular rigor in high school was also associated with better cognitive function in later life. We estimated multilevel structural equation models in data from 2,749 participants who attended 308 Wisconsin high schools, graduating in 1957. Independent of academic ability and performance and school-level financial and material resources, a more rigorous high school curriculum was associated with significantly better global cognitive functioning in 2020, when most participants were 81 years old. There was also a significant mediation via eventual degree attainment. The mediation was moderated such that men and participants from high socioeconomic status families benefited most from a rigorous curriculum. We discuss implications for modern educational policy.

期刊介绍： Journal of Health and Social Behavior is a medical sociology journal that publishes empirical and theoretical articles that apply sociological concepts and methods to the understanding of health and illness and the organization of medicine and health care. Its editorial policy favors manuscripts that are grounded in important theoretical issues in medical sociology or the sociology of mental health and that advance theoretical understanding of the processes by which social factors and human health are inter-related.
