All participants over 30 years old were asked to answer the questionnaire, all questions about memory issues. They asked if problems with remembering dates, names and persons, as well as long-term and short-term memory for events, etc. For almost all counts profiles of men more often than women complained of poor memory. To the fact that they don’t remember the names, 86.5% of women and 89.7% of men complained. On the poor memory for dates – 64.7 and 74.9%, respectively. Similar differences were noted by men and women in 8 points of the questionnaire out of 9. Scientists have put forward several hypotheses, what are the reasons for such differences. One of them – only those men participated in the study. who have similar problems, and those who did not want to participate which there are no complaints. But to verify such a statement is quite difficult, most likely, this concern is also characteristic of women who participated in the project. Another possible explanation is that memory impairment is associated with other impairment health – cardiovascular disease, increased pressure, smoking, overweight, physical inactivity. They cause microdamage to the vessels of the brain, which is the reason memory impairment. And all these problems are more widespread among men than women who pay more attention to healthy lifestyle and health in general. Suggestions have also been made that work places higher demands on mental work men, which affects their memory. However, in Norway up to 80% women work, and it’s unlikely that less people requirements than for men, therefore, they considered such an explanation unreasonable. It probably didn’t occur to scientists to match this data with the marital status of the subjects. After all, differences can there may be quite simple explanations like: it’s more convenient for men to rely as a keepsake of their life companions, so they don’t bother remembering such trifles as mother-in-law’s birthday, phone number Moms or their own clothing size. Why, if the wife prompts, when is it necessary? But this phenomenon is well known to any married woman. to a woman, just like the question “Where are my socks (tie \ gloves \ briefcase, etc. – substitute the necessary)? “By the way, a question for filling especially for married male readers: name date of your wedding. Single men should have better memory although I have no scientific evidence of this fact. Report about him published in BMC Psychology magazine Tatyana Bateneva
