It says in the article that generally men are sometimes more forgetful than women in everyday life. The research they conducted was about older men and women, though. The information shown said that men were more likely to have mild cognitive impairment than a woman, but women developed a disease related to forgetfulness and Alzheimers, called dementia, at a faster rate. So both genders have problems in this area.

In a nutshell the article stated men are more likely to forget things because of dementia. Actually they are 1.5 times more likely! The scientists did a test on two thousand people for their research. The findings were conrary to an earlier study that said sex made no difference. Another factor was age, also having an effect on your chances.

It seems that a recent study shows that men are more likely to forget things than women. And as men get older they are even more likely to to have a greater loss of memory. The condition is called mild cognitive impairment. Some can lead to a very bad situation called dementia. Also can get Alzheimer's disease.
