Owning a dog was linked to 40 percent lower odds of developing disabling dementia over four years, in a study of 11,194 older adults in Tokyo. Cat owners showed no difference at all. Residents of Ota City, Tokyo, aged 65 to 84, filled out a detailed health survey in 2016. Researchers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology then followed them for about four years using Japan's long-term care records, where doctors rate whether someone's dementia is severe enough to need care. The study appeared in Preventive Medicine Reports in 2023. Only 8.6 percent of these older adults owned a dog. Dog owners can differ from everyone else in health, income, and lifestyle, so the team statistically balanced the groups on physical, social, and psychological traits before comparing them. Current dog owners had 40 percent lower odds of disabling dementia than people who had never owned a dog or no longer did. Cat owners matched non-owners. Dog owners who also exercised regularly had 63 percent lower odds compared with non-owners who didn't exercise, and dog owners who weren't socially isolated had 59 percent lower odds than isolated non-owners. Walking a dog counts as moderate exercise, and the researchers point to both the physical activity and the social contact that come with daily dog care. Cats rarely need a walk around the neighborhood. Healthier people may also be more able to keep a dog, and a study like this can't fully separate the two. Across 11,194 older adults, the lowest dementia risk showed up in dog owners who were also active and socially connected.

Owning a cat is linked to roughly double the odds of developing schizophrenia, a serious mental illness where people can lose touch with reality. Researchers at the University of Queensland went through 43 years of studies and kept finding the same link. Out of 1,915 studies published between 1980 and 2023, only 17 were good enough to make it into the review. Psychiatrist John McGrath led the work, and Schizophrenia Bulletin published it in 2024. People who had been around cats were about 2.4 times as likely to have a schizophrenia-related diagnosis, after the researchers accounted for other factors. Dropping one unusual study pulled one of their estimates down to about 1.6 times, a smaller link that still held. A parasite called Toxoplasma gondii is the main suspect. Cats can carry it, and it can reach the human brain, although this review measured cat contact only, so the parasite itself still needs testing. Fewer than 1 in 100 people develop schizophrenia, so double a small risk is still a small risk. Many of the studies also asked adults to remember whether they had a cat as a kid, and memories can be wrong. The researchers want more high-quality studies, but across 17 of them, the link kept showing up.

Owning your AI stack isn't a cost decision. It's a control decision. Our own Jon Krohn and Frank Basso sat down with @BusinessInsider to make the case for smaller, specialized models: trained on your data, running on infrastructure you own, and outperforming generic off-the-shelf AI for enterprise teams. Higher ROI. Lower token spend. Full control. They also walk through how the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA turns that full-stack approach into something you can actually deploy today. Try it for free:

Owning your checkout UI usually means owning PCI. Not with Banxa Native. Card, @applepay and @GooglePay are captured by a Banxa payment SDK. Your platform does not need PCI compliance certification, and you still build every screen your user sees. Read more:
