Memory loss is a natural consequence of aging .
Some people start having memory loss early in their lives, and others are intact into their 90s. There's no magic age when memory loss begins. It's a slow, chronic process. Many with memory loss have difficulty retrieving information, especially that from years ago. But if memory loss is combined with serious cognitive deterioration in a patient older than 40, doctors may suspect Alzheimer's.
