As you age some parts of your brain tend to fade or deteriorate. People that have a good memory tend to be healthier. Studies comparing the effects of aging on episodic memory, semantic memory, short-term memory and priming find that episodic memory is especially impaired in normal aging.

The age can go up to your brain tend to fade. Lots of people can have a good memory and it tend healther. When people our age can have a short term memory loss. It can be a normal aging to other people.

As you get older your brain deteriorates. It's just a sign of getting older. Everyone goes through it because the connections get worn out.

As you get older you lose memory. Part of it deals with Alzhiemers disease. Like thibault said, the connections just wear out.

Alot of it is genetics and just how your brain starts to deterirate. However doing "brain activites" like reading or doing cross word puzzles will keep your memory better. Also physical activity helps your overall health including your memory.
