TL;DR
Fish consumption may be associated with slower cognitive decline with age, and further study is needed to determine whether fat composition is the relevant dietary constituent.

Examination of cognitive activity patterns in a geographically defined, biracial population of persons aged 65 years and older found more frequent participation in cognitive activities was associated with younger age, more education, higher family income, female gender, and White race; participation in activities judged to be more cognitively intense was not strongly related to age.
