Mother at the age of 58

My mom was 58 now, but she experienced forgetting some things, could it be possibly that a woman with 58 of age can get Alzheimer's disease even if she was not old enough to experience it?

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
