The ‘Early Nutrition Programming & Health Outcomes in Later Life: Obesity and Beyond’ conference will be held on 20-21 of April 2007 in Budapest. On behalf of the EARNEST community and the European Academy of Nutritonal Sciences (EANS), the Organizing Committee is delighted to invite you to the ‘Early Nutrition Programming & Health Outcomes in Later Life: Obesity and Beyond’ conference to be held on 20-21 of April 2007 in Budapest.
Nutrition during pregnancy and infancy can exert important long-term effects on development and health. These “programming” effects of early nutrition on health in later life are an important topic in biomedical research, nutritional and health care practice and in health policy in the near future. This International Conference provides up-to-date information on basic scientific research, epidemiological data and clinical findings on the fascinating relationship of maternal and infantile dietary intakes to various functions of the organism at later ages. With the support of the European Commission (EARNEST FOOD-CT-2005-007036) scientists, clinicians, representatives of recommending bodies and food manufacturers can be brought together to discuss their findings and develop new synergistic approaches for further advances in this field. Invited experts will provide state of the art lectures on all major topics, and young scientists present their original research. A variety of opportunities are expected to arise for improving nutrition policy as well as products of the food industry.
The conference is held as a satellite of the 15th European Congress on Obesity. Therefore, the potential early nutritional roots of later obesity will be one of the focal points of the conference.
Budapest with its mixture of Eastern and Western cultural traditions and the splendid panorama of the two banks of the Danube river will provide an excellent forum for delegates to share experiences, to discuss latest findings critically and to develop collaborative approaches for the improvement of early nutrition.
