Losing your ability to think and remember is pretty frightening. We know the risk of dementia (痴呆症)

increases with age. But if you have memory slips you probably needn’t worry. There are pretty clear differences

between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss.

After age 50, it’s quite common to have trouble remembering the namesof people, places and things quickly,

says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Women’s Hospital inBoston.

The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts become smaller, especially areas in the brain that

are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between

different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.

Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. But if you forget

the plot of the movie or don’t remember even seeing it, that’s far more concerning, Daffner says.

When you forget entire experiences, he says, that’s “a red flag that something more serious may be involved”.

Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you’ve visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong

But even then, Daffner says, people shouldn’t panic. There are many things that can cause confusion

andmemory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high blood

pressure, or depression, as well as medications (药物) like antidepressants.

You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Daffner suggests going to your doctor to check on medications,

health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the best defense against memory loss is to

try to prevent it by building up your brain’s cognitive(认知的) reserve, Daffner says.

“Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways, ” he says.

In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a known
