Memory loss not only a problem of elders

A recent study has suggested that Memory loss is not just a matter of old age but can begin as early as our thirties. However, the average age of memory loss was found 57.
In an online poll conducted in Britain, 11 percent of the total people interviewed said they experienced a memory loss in their 40s. However, 6 percent responded that they noticed it in their 30s.
The survey also found that people over-50s are often suffer the fear of memory loss and many have frequent and embarrassing memory lapses, the Daily Mail reported Friday.
The most common examples of memory loss included getting out of the house without wearing socks, forgetting how to spell common words like "hour" and even struggling to remember their own name at times.
The research also revealed that, 92 percent of total participants over-50s do try to keep their minds and memory active. The survey was commissioned by an adult learning website Love to Learn.
