People who were more highly educated were less likely to forget than those with less education. And while women had the same trouble as men remembering things, they did do it slightly better. No more blaming forgetfulness on "senior brain," either – the study found that there wasn't much discrepancy in forgetfulness for adults aged 30 to 60. At 60, memory problems accelerate overall. "It was surprising to see that men forget more than women. This has not been documented before. It was also surprising to see that men are just as forgetful whether they are 30 or 60 years old. The results were unambiguous," says Professor Jostein Holmen, from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim. - << Prev
