Worrying about senior moments shows mind is still in good shape

UK - If you notice lapses in memory it means that dementia is years away, scientists have found. Senior moments such as misplacing spectacles or walking into a room then forgetting the reason for entering, lead many older people to worry that they are on a slippery slope to dementia. But a new study suggests that noticing memory lapses is actually a good thing. New research shows that people with dementia tend to lose awareness that their memory is going two to three years before the condition develops. So people who notice their little slips can be safe in the knowledge that any significant mental decline is years off, and may not develop at all.
