Age-Related Memory Loss

Age-related memory loss refers to the gradual decline in memory and cognitive abilities that many people experience as they grow older. This can include difficulties in recalling names, finding misplaced items, or remembering recent conversations. It's a normal part of aging and is often not a sign of serious conditions like dementia. While some memory lapses can be frustrating, they usually don’t significantly impact daily life. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, engaging in social activities, and keeping the brain active through learning can help support memory function as we age.
