Data were collected on cognitive function, sociodemographic characteristics and participation in cognitively stimulating activities (foreign language learning, musical instrument skills, hobbies, smart product use, physical exercise and household chores).

Cognitive impairment was identified in 111 participants (45.1%), with 81 (32.9%) diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and 30 (12.2%) with severe cognitive impairment (SCI). In the MCI group, depressive symptoms (OR\u2009=\u20093.66) were associated with poorer cognitive performance, while hobbies (OR\u2009=\u20090.32), smart product use (OR\u2009=\u20090.25) and household chores (&gt;\u20093 times\/week: OR\u2009=\u20090.27; \u2264\u20093 times\/week: OR\u2009=\u20090.24) were linked to better cognitive function.
