Background/Objectives: Impaired cognition is a key trait of the diseases of aging and is an important quality of life factor for older adults and their families. Over the past decade, there has been an increasing appreciation for the role of the microbiome in cognition, as well as emerging evidence that probiotics, such as those in yogurt and other dairy products, can have a positive impact on cognitive function. However, it is unclear to what extent the consumption of yogurt is associated with improved cognitive function in older adults. Methods: Therefore, we compared the scores for the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Digit–Symbol Substitution Test between respondents who self-reported daily yogurt/dairy consumption with those who claimed they did not in an NHANES. Results: We found that cognitive scores were significantly higher (40.03 ± 0.64 vs. 36.28 ± 1.26, p = 0.017) in respondents reporting daily yogurt/dairy consumption, though only a trend remained after adjusting for sociodemographic covariates (p = 0.074). Conclusions: Further studies are required to confirm that this is a cause–effect relationship and whether changing diets is a low-cost means of protecting aging populations from cognitive decline and improving their quality of life.
