A six-year study of 10,978 Japanese adults aged 65+ found that those who cooked at least one home-cooked meal per week had about a 30% lower risk of developing dementia, with up to a 70% reduction for participants with fewer cooking skills, suggesting cognitive stimulation from cooking may help protect against cognitive decline.
