What Causes Mini Strokes?

I am a 53 year old female, and I have been having mini strokes. My EEG showed abnormal activity so my doctor followed up with an MRI which state 'mile senile atrophy'. He said there was nothing to worry about, but I am concerned that it means I am going senile. Can you tell me more about this?
