While it might appear like just another sleepy border town, Rio Grande City in southern Texas has a dark secret.
The community of just over 15,000 residents has one of the highest dementia rates in America.
One in four people here over the age of 65 have it compared to around one in 10 nationally.
And that is probably only the ‘tip of the iceberg’, according to Dr Gladys Maestre, director of a dedicated dementia and Alzheimer’s research program at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.
She told the Daily Mail the number of sufferers is likely ‘much, much higher’, as many people don’t have health insurance and cases therefore go unreported. More
What’s the prevailing wind direction, and what sort of industries are right across the border from them?

They used to burn a lot of Coal, and all of the Trash……Sewer pumped straight
out into the Ocean (South) which came back in with the Tide…Town was always
covered in soot….and soot like products…
Rio Grande City is right on the border with, with, with…what?
The Daily Mail article fails to mention Mexico even once. ZERO.
I am not making this up.
Everything the author mentioned would present, if not more so south of the Rio Grande, with the author failed to mention. This is a garbage article if there ever was one.
That must mean the place is completely forgettable then.
I was going to comment but I forget what I wanted to say
Let’s all go down to Dementia City
where the chicks have dicks
and the guys have… can I help you?
This is a sorry global warming pitch, also anti car. Very self indulgent and truly pathetic in its lateness to the party. Glow-ball boiling is in the long and long overdue debunking stage, while the trillions wasted over this chimera, this man bear pig, are well and truly gone the writer figures to wring one more dab of reward out of the sorry sodden and brown lie. GFY, TASAFBII, FOAD.
