To examine associations between sustained ownership of a pet and cognitive outcomes among a national sample of U.S. adults. Weighted linear mixed models were estimated using the Health and Retirement Study (2010–2016, n=1,369) to compare repeated measures of cognitive function between respondents who endorsed owning a pet in a sustained manner (>5 years), versus those who owned a pet ≤5 years, and non-pet owners. Respondents age 65+ who owned a pet >5 years demonstrated higher composite cognitive scores, compared to non-pet owners (β=0.76, p=0.03). Sustained pet ownership was associated with higher immediate (β=0.3, p=0.02) and delayed (β=0.4, p=0.007) word recall scores. There were no significant differences in cognitive scores between pet owners and non-owners aged ≤65. Sustained ownership of a pet could mitigate cognitive disparities in older adults. Further studies are needed to examine potential causal pathways, including physical activity and stress buffering, versus selection effects.
