unsigned question

Document spelling: aging or ageing? (or both?)

poor use of language

The language is awkward. For example, # is used when it should be number. Some introductory phrases make no sense. Words are used incorrectly. 173.66.108.209 (talk) 10:11, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cleaned up the Numbers

Numbers should always be spelled out unless they are a crazy high number. I modified the numbers in the "Mild cognitive impairment" section to make it look a bit neater. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NDLitster (talk • contribs) 19:37, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I see a lot of word for word language in the Theories section without any citation. Although I did edit that and added the citation I would go through again and make sure to clean it up and make sure more of it is your own words. Basically Plagiarism.

Caregiving

I plan to add additional information to the Caregiving section to clarify and expand on what is already there. Sarah3collins (talk) 22:16, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why a photo of a woman?

why not - because women are more likely the subject of sexist inaccurate portrayals of reduced capacity to remember. whilst men are the subject of many other sexist biases, for us it is not usually that one. 78.149.120.57 (talk) 09:14, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have heard and read many sexist things about women, but "portrayals of a reduced capacity to remember" is not one of them. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 11:06, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Image replacement suggestion

Pardon this only-a-2nd year, but isn't that a picture of a old-woman being socially-pressured into wearing a daggy hat?

The person/face in question, neither suggests dementia, nor age, specifically/distinctly, if you ask me - those old multi-purpose hats, were actually age-flexible, if the person who chose it, was thinking it was a age-inappropriate indicator - i.e. adorable when a toddler, still trying to be cute when young, married? not-married? i can't remember which while of 'marrying-age', and then finally in-advance of reincarnation/rebirth as a baby again 'familiarization' or re-stimulation, more likely.

So point is,.. they're NOT age-exclusive,.. as-of a item of clothing that's age-appropriate.

---

If you wanted a more specific "memory & aging" related image, which is what this page is supposed to be about,

how about an aging/aged person with their hands on their back pockets trying to find their keys, while locked outside their car in a carport,.. or,.. mm... one pausing to think but looking strained/confused, while doing their tax, or something.

Again, that to me,.. just looks like an image of societo-impositionally-imposed daggy-hat infliction suffrance - perhaps she's SAD, from being unhappy to have to wear such a daggy looking hat,.. who knows? But distinctly DIFFERENT,.. i.e. what the picture NEEDS TO BE ... ahem ahem ... for, it's photo-identifier "dementia". A photo of a hat wearer does not necessarily indicate CHOICE, as i'm sure many an aged-'care' resident, would be happy to co-confirm. 120.19.184.211 (talk) 04:49, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
