Abstract: With the continuous prolongation of the average life span of human beings, the cognitive disease, which is a great threat to human health, has increasingly become an important issue of national and social governance in the world. On June 18, 2019, the Japanese government deliberated and approved the “cognitive disease implementation program”, which established five strategic pillar policies based on the opinions of all cognitive patients and their families. So far, cognitive disease has officially become a part of Japans national strategy, rather than just as an “action plan”. Japans exploration of Geriatric Cognition and national strategic awareness can serve as an important “mirror”. Why Japan should pay attention to Geriatric Cognition at the level of national strategy, as well as the formation process and specific direction of the strategy, are all worthy of the attention of the Chinese academia.

Key words: Geriatric Cognition, Japanese population, national strategy, Alzheimer's disease, symbiosis
