Men have a greater chance than women of suffering from memory problems in old age, according to research.
Scientists found that they are at least one and a half times more likely to have problems with memory and thinking skills when they reach 70 and beyond.
Men do not, on average, live as long as women and the new work shows that this is reflected in their mental decline too, which too happens earlier.
When it comes to remembering things, men are more likely than women to become dotty and forgetful in old age, according to a study presented to the American Academy of Neurology, Chicago.
