> Conclusions: Habitual cheese consumption (≥1 time/week) was modestly associated with a reduced 3-year incidence of dementia in older Japanese adults. [Absolute risk difference of 1.06 percentage points.] While the absolute risk reduction was small, these findings are consistent with prior observational evidence linking dairy intake to cognitive health. Further research is warranted to clarify dose–response relationships, cheese subtypes, and underlying mechanisms.

This is surprising. You'd expect cholesterol to accumulate in the blood vessels in the brain and create problems.

But dietary cholesterol is not linked to cholesterol in the blood vessels
> We confirm from the review of the literature on epidemiological data, meta-analysis, and clinical interventions where dietary cholesterol challenges were utilized that there is not a direct correlation between cholesterol intake and blood cholesterol.

The first part of this abstract breaks down the current understanding nicely: https://www.mdpi.com/1467-3045/47/2/115
