What is age related dementia ? and what are its symotoms?

I cannot remember: As we age there is always a degree of forgetfulness. With advancing age deficits my become more obvious, although people and spouses can be very good at hiding the deficits as they evolve.

All older cases: Seems that for folk over 65 with a few symptoms like memory loss, confusion, difficult doing things they once could, irritability, loss of self care, etc. And no known cause like a stroke, the term is used. Since alzheimers is hard to DX until it progresses, ard may be the early diagnosis while tests are done and alternatives illness causes and behavioral issues are considered.

Possibly Alzheimer's: No real diagnosis called age related dementia but as we age the most common dementia is alzheimer's disease or alzheimer's dementia. Age is the biggest risk factor for this illness. Symptoms of dementia include memory trouble, word finding problems, trouble keeping track of date, time and place, and other problems later in the illness.
