Preliminary research presented at the 2024 Alzheimer's Association International Conference suggests that a higher intake of processed red meat, such as bacon, hot dogs, and sausages, is associated with an increased risk of dementia. Participants who consumed 0.25 or more servings of processed meat per day had a 15% higher risk of dementia compared to those who consumed less than 0.10 serving per day. However, the study also found that replacing processed red meat with nuts and legumes could potentially lower this risk. It is important to note that the study does not determine whether it is the processing method or the type of red meat that affects cognition. [Extracted from the article]

WEIRTON, W. Va. -- Life in this industrial area has slowed to a shuffle along with the steel mills that used to power it. Young people have moved away, leaving an aging population that no longer has the energy to put on street fairs or holiday parades. In fact, this community in West Virginia's northern panhandle holds an unwelcome distinction. With just 71 babies born on average for every 100 residents who die, Brooke County, in which Weirton is partly located, has the largest such gap in the nation among counties in metropolitan areas, save for a handful of places that are magnets for retirees. (Hancock County, which contains the other part of Weirton, is in similar demographic straits.) [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
