In the advancement of Kali-yuga, as I have several times described, that this memory will be decreased. People will be less, less memorious, memory… Their memory will be very shortened. They’ll forget. Just like the lady was angry. At once forgets. One moment she says that, “Oh, it was terrible heat”, and next moment says, “Oh, I don’t feel any unhappiness”. That is forgetfulness. So memory will be so short that people will forget.
(Srila Prabhupada, New York, November 25, 1966)

1 in 8 boomers reports memory loss, large survey finds
By Steve James, contributor, NBC News
One in eight Americans over the age of 60 reports worsening memory loss, raising concerns of an Alzheimer’s Disease crisis as the baby-boom generation gets older, a large government study finds. And it’s bugging the youngest members of that age group the most.
Nearly 13 percent people 60 or older reported confusion or memory loss occuring more often or getting worse over the past 12 months, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found.
Of these people, one-third reported that confusion or memory loss interfered with their work, social activities, or ability to do household chores, the CDC found in analyzing a survey of 59,000 people in 21 states.
Because it’s the first self-reported survey of memory loss, it’s difficult to draw conclusions, said Angela Deokar, a public health adviser at the CDC.
“This is the first time we have such data,” she said, adding that future surveys would look at why people in the 60-64 age group seemed to suffer more when they did have memory loss. The survey found that 12 percent of 60 to 64-year-olds complained of confusion or memory loss, and of them, nearly 45 percent said it interfered with daily life or work. That’s worse than in the 85-and-older group — only 38 percent of them felt the memory loss or confusion interfered with their lives.
“These findings suggest a need for future studies to examine the relationship of age and functional difficulties caused by increased confusion or memory loss,” Deokar said.
