The TL;DR summary from the abstract:

    > For working hours up to around 25 hours a week, an increase in working hours
    > has a positive impact on cognitive functioning. However, when working hours
    > exceed 25 hours per week, an increase in working hours has a negative impact
    > on cognition.
No significant difference between women and men.

Important detail: They only looked at people 40 or older, so no conclusions should be attempted based on this paper alone about differences between older and younger groups (above/below 40). Looking at their tables at the end of the paper I also didn't see any stratification by age within the sampled group, they only listed the sample size for three (15 years wide) age groups (Table II).
