Talking about a current issue
あなたは時事ネタのニュースに関して話しています
日本でもそうですが、もし外国人と政治や宗教の話をする場合、それぞれの国の主義思想があり言い方が難しくなります。しかし避けて通れない会話トピックではあるため、寛容な気持ちを持って何事も断定的に話さず、相手のバックグラウンドを理解しつつ仮定的に話を持って行けば割とスムーズにいく場合が多いです。

Oh, that's interesting! I've always heard people debate that. So, what did the analysis from Japan reveal?

The study has found that holding a dog may help older adults stay healthier by Japan's National Institute for Environmental Studies

The study followed about 11,000 people aged 65 to older in Tokyo for four years. It found that dog owners were 40% less likely to get dementia than without dogs. Meanwhile, that is another study, following 6,200 people over two years, found dog owners were also 20% less likely to see a decrease in their muscle strength.

A study by Japan's National Institute for Environmental Studies has found that owning a dog may help older adults stay healthier.

The study followed about 11,000 people aged 65 and older in Tokyo for four years. It found that dog owners were 40% less likely to get dementia than those without dogs. Meanwhile,    another study   following 6,200 people over two years   found dog owners were also 20% less likely to see a decrease in their muscle strength.

1. Use "a/an" before singular and nonspecified nouns. 
2. Put these words here for fluency.
3. This word fits the context better.
4. Always end a declarative with a period.
5. "age + and older"
6. Add this word to complete the clause.
7. Remove these words because they are redundant.
8 and 9. Remove the comma since it unnecessarily interrupts sentence flow.
That's quite a significant impact! It seems like dogs offer great health benefits for older adults. Have there been any similar studies about the health benefits of owning cats?

Interestingly, the researchers found no clear health impact for cat owners.

One of the researchers behind both studies believes because dog owners walk with their pets. This action gives the owners a chance to exercise. However, also gives them chances to encount and talk with people as they walk with pet, both of which are important for staying healthy.
If you are thinking about getting a pet, a dog might not just make you happy. It could also help keep you healthy as you get older.
