  6. Why we should do memory loss? • Memory loss causes more damage to the life span than mobility. • If someone forgets something important, it could lead to a severe situation. • There is no reason to need to reach for something above your head because you can keep it closer to yourself. • 5% of the population in their 70’s has a kind of memory loss. • 7% of the population in their 80’s has a kind of memory loss. • More people chose memory loss in my graph. • A team was studying a group of 2,000 seniors past 70 years old. They all started with good health. 5% of the seniors were contaminated with severe memory loss.
