摘要：This study examined the relationship between cosmetic acts and frontal cortical cognitive function of Japanese upper middle-aged women. Cosmetic habit of the participants was addressed as an important part of social function in women. Two hundred and six community dwellers were given both the questionnaire for cosmetic acts and the cognitive assessment battery as a part of Yakumo Study. The results showed that prefrontal cortex related cognitive performances for women who were sustaining the habitual cosmetic acts (both skin care and cosmetic regimes) were better than those of women who have already abandoned the habit. This suggests an important relation between maintaining cosmetic acts even in elderly and sustaining frontal cortex function.
