Hi,
There is no specific age-limit for Alzheimer's, but your mother's forgetfullness is not necessarily a sign of Alzheimer's. Everyone's brain loses some of it's 'substance' as the person gets older. When this substance is lost, so is the memory that it contained. It is a natural process.
If you are very worried about it, tell your mother about your worries and ask her to go to a doctor with you.
Take care,
Kevin
