Who has not forgotten a name, occasionally misplaced things, or stumbled over the right word during a conversation? However, with growing awareness about dementia, these occasional memory lapses often leave people wondering if it could be an early sign of dementia.
As people get older, you might notice that it takes a little longer to remember things than it once did, but most of the time, there is no cause for concern. This occasional forgetfulness is called age-associated memory impairment and is a normal part of aging. Although it may feel frustrating, it does not mean you have dementia.
