title: [Do Intellectual Activities Influence Onset of Neurocognitive Disorder?].
abstract: In this paper, the author has discussed whether and how intellectual activities influence the onset of neurocognitive disorder based on findings from previous studies. The activities discussed include those involving education and learning during childhood, hobbies and leisure activities with cognitive stimulation, and those through cognitive intervention. There are various opinions on the effect of intellectual activities on the onset of neurocognitive disorder. However, because the relationship between intellectual activities and the onset of neurocognitive disorder has never been fully examined, it seems necessary to discuss this aspect carefully.
