Brandenburg Wildfire Risk Increased by Human Activity and Climate Change
A study by the Technical University of Berlin found that proximity to settlements, railway lines, and the prevalence of pine forests significantly increase wildfire risk in Brandenburg, Germany, with over 96% of fires being human-caused; the researchers recommend transitioning to mixed forests and i...

Life Expectancy Increase Slowing in High-Income Countries
A Max Planck Institute study reveals that life expectancy in 23 high-income countries is increasing at a slower rate than in the past, with gains slowing from 5.5 months per generation (1900-1938) to 2.5-3.5 months (1939-2000), primarily due to diminishing returns from reduced child mortality; this ...

Mediterranean Diet Significantly Lowers Dementia Risk in APOE4 Gene Carriers
A 34-year study of 5,700 people found that a Mediterranean diet reduced dementia risk by at least 35% in those with two APOE4 genes, a major Alzheimer's risk factor; higher adherence further decreased risk, suggesting improved metabolic function as a key mechanism.

Extreme Heat Fueling Wildfires Across the Western US
A dangerous heat wave impacting over 30 million people in the Western US is fueling wildfires in California and Oregon, while monsoon moisture brings thunderstorms and flash flooding risks to other areas; record high temperatures were set in several cities on Saturday.

Omega-3 Deficiency Linked to Higher Alzheimer's Risk in Women
A study of 841 Alzheimer's patients found that women with the disease had significantly lower levels of unsaturated fats, especially omega-3 fatty acids, compared to women without it, potentially explaining why women are disproportionately affected.
