Yes, it is possible. There are degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's at all ages, but the most likely reason for poor memory in someone in their 30's is something interfering with their paying attention, like anxiety or something similar.

That's absolutely right. People can suffer from Alzheimer's early in their lives. Statistics would show that 5% of Americans have early on-set or 200,000 people out of 4 million. The is usually hereditary, so if a person has grandparents and other relatives that have early on-set of Alzheimer's then there is a big chance that person will develop the said condition.
