Cognitive impairment is also known as cognitive disorders. With the rapid aging of the population, the number of people affected by cognitive disorders and the Alzheimer's disease is on the rise. The stigma associated with cognitive disorder is widely recognized in the international community, but related research in this field remains limited. This paper found that definition and measurement of stigma of cognitive disorders need to be standardized, there is a lack of research on economically underdeveloped areas and evidence to establish causal inference; and there is ample room for improvement in both the quantity and quality of intervention studies. The research on stigma of cognitive disorders provides an unique opportunity to break the binary subject perspective in the traditional field of stigma research. At the same time, the discussion on the mechanism of cognitive disorder stigma formation can also deepen the academic discussion on labeling theory and attribution theory.

认知障碍又称认知症。随着人口老龄化进程的加快，受认知症和阿尔茨海默病影响的人群在不断增多。有关认知症的污名在国际社会被公认为普遍存在，但相关的研究却十分有限。本文通过梳理既往有关认知症污名的研究成果，发现有关认知症污名的定义和测量方式有待统一，有关经济欠发达地区的研究十分欠缺，能够进行因果推断的证据缺乏，干预研究的数量和质量均有很大的提升空间。对于认知症污名的研究，为打破传统污名研究领域中二元主体视角提供了难得的契机。同时，对认知症污名形成机制的讨论，也可以深化学界对标签理论和归因理论的探讨。
