It’s important to note that dementia symptoms possibly start as early as age 30. Just very mild.
And some of the hallmark early symptoms is a lack of motivation and difficulty with multi step procedures.
It’s likely people struggling to be motivated to cook or find it difficult to prepare a meal turn to frozen dinners because they are much easier to cook.
Sleeping disruptions also associated with dementia. It’s normal to sleep a little less at night as we get older but sleeping only 5 or 6 hours a night isn’t really normal. As you can imagine, reduced sleep creates more day-time fatigue. Further reducing motivation and attention to prepare meals.
Whenever I see these kinds of studies linking some behavior or activity with dementia, it’s always important to ask which came first. Is there a interaction effect or a one way effect.

Is it :
Someone’s poor dental hygiene causes dementia or dementia causes poor dental hygiene ?
I acknowledge that processed food isn’t very healthy. Probably increases risk for a lot of gastro problems and nutrition deficiency.
But in this case, probably the dementia was independent.
Pretty strong evidence that Alzheimer’s starts very early in life. Only shows cognitive symptoms much later.
