There is a reason they refer to older adults as being in their “Golden years.” It’s because these should be the best years of a woman’s life.

Perhaps we notice that we can’t remember where we left things, can’t find quite the right word in a conversation, or have trouble remembering names. This can be concerning though – how do we know if these changes are a normal part of getting older, or if they are signs of a larger health problem?
