14h – 17h - Early Nutrition & Later Disease: Current Concepts, Research & Implications (com tradução simultânea)
Early nutrition has profound and long-term effects on health and disease. Changes in maternal diet from before conception until lactation can affect early development and may then alter the child’s susceptibility to later disease. This workshop provides a forum for understanding the concepts of developmental programming, critical windows and origins of health and disease hypothesis. The importance of integrating evidence from experimental, human and clinical approaches will be emphasized. Recent research, emerging themes, controversies, clinical and public health implications, and prevention will be discussed. Insight will be given into new hot topics and the potential for nutritional interventions throughout the life-cycle. Attendees will have ample opportunity to discuss the subject with the panel of experts.
