AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoDementia & Diet: A new JAMA Network Open study from Sweden’s SNAC-K cohort links more anti-inflammatory eating (more vegetables, tea/coffee; less red/processed meat) with a 21–29% lower dementia risk in adults 60+, even when blood markers suggest early Alzheimer’s changes—though researchers stress it doesn’t prove diet changes prevent progression. Heat & Sports Health: At the Tour de France, record temperatures are driving real safety moves: organizers shortened Stage 9 by 30 km after a red heat alert, while Tadej Pogačar urged a radical calendar overhaul (start earlier, avoid July/August hot racing) and riders repeated the basics—hydration, cooling, and nutrition. Child Digital Safety: The EU is proposing a legal ban on social media for under-13s, with “phased and gradual access” later, aiming to tackle weak age checks and protect teens’ mental health and online safety. Local Health Equity (Slovenia): Slovenia’s municipalities Črenšovci, Rogašovci, and Šalovci will receive funding for Roma settlement infrastructure (sewage and roads), targeting better living conditions and reduced disparities. Agriculture & Nutrition: A Horizon Europe project (COLiBRI) launches to better coordinate crop breeding research across Europe, aiming to strengthen food and nutrition security amid climate and biodiversity pressures.
