Memory problems are common in older adults, affecting 15% of those 55 and up. Factors like health and sensory impairments influence memory difficulties in seniors.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Everyday memory problems are a concern for aging populations.
  • Understanding the prevalence and predictors of memory issues is crucial for public health initiatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the prevalence of self-reported memory problems in adults aged 55 and older.
  • To identify correlates and predictors of these memory problems.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the 1984 Supplement on Aging to the National Health Interview Survey.
  • Analyzed a sample of 14,783 individuals aged 55 and older.
  • Employed bivariate and multivariate analyses to assess predictors.

Main Results:

  • Fifteen percent of respondents reported frequent memory troubles in the past year.
  • Key predictors included sex, age, education, subjective health, perceived health changes, functional limitations, and sensory impairments (vision/hearing).

    • Conclusions:

    • Self-reported memory problems are prevalent in older adults.
    • Multiple demographic, health, and functional factors are associated with memory difficulties in this age group.
