A Vanguard health feature asks whether everyday memory slips are simply old age.
A health feature by Sola Ogundipe in Vanguard opens with familiar moments: a name that will not come, walking into a room and forgetting why, or searching for a phone that is already in your hand. It asks whether such lapses are just "old age" and looks at what changes in the brain after 50.
This page summarises only the opening of the feature. If you are worried about your memory or a relative's, speak with a doctor.
