AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Longevity: A new study suggests women in Sardinia’s Bolotana village may have exceptional odds of reaching 100. The report also names Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula among the world’s established “blue zones.” Food Safety: A report on the rare parasite Angiostrongylus costaricensis, discovered by Costa Rican scientists, describes how contaminated raw fruits and vegetables can spread infection—so thorough washing matters. Cancer Care: Costa Rica’s CCSS breast-cancer treatment waiting lists are being flagged as a serious risk, highlighting the importance of timely access to care.
