Cognitive decline

What is cognitive decline?

Cognitive decline refers to a slowing or impaired ability to think, reason, and remember. It ranges from mild changes to more serious issues like dementia. As we age, some cognitive decline is normal. However, severe or sudden changes in cognition can signal underlying medical conditions.

Some key things to know about cognitive decline:

• It can start as early as your 20s or 30s. Most people begin noticing subtle changes in their 40s and 50s.


• Risk factors include aging, genetics, head trauma, limited education, social isolation, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension. Addressing these can help reduce your risk.


• Early signs are often missed. Common early symptoms are memory lapses, reduced ability to pay attention, forgetting words, misplacing items, difficulty learning new skills, and struggling with complex tasks.


• Mild cognitive impairment may progress to dementia. Getting checked by your doctor helps identify reversible causes like medication side effects, thyroid disorders, or vitamin deficiencies.


• Healthy lifestyle choices help. Protective factors include regular exercise, intellectually stimulating activities, stress management, social connections, proper nutrition including Omega-3s, and good sleep hygiene.
