EPI|LIFESTYLE 2018 Scientific Sessions - Epidemiology and Prevention | Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health
OVERVIEW
EPI|LIFESTYLE 2018 Scientific Sessions - Epidemiology and Prevention | Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health is organized by American Heart Association (AHA) and will be held during Mar 20 - 23, 2018 at Sheraton New Orleans Hotel, New Orleans, Louisiana, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is public health practitioners and clinicians. The meeting should appeal to physicians, epidemiologists, dietitians, nutritional scientists, exercise physiologists, behavioral scientists, biostatisticians, pharmacists, physician assistants, nurses, school health professionals and other health scientists.
Conference Description:
The primary goal of this conference is to promote the development and application of translational and population science to prevent heart disease and stroke and foster cardiovascular health. The Councils on Epidemiology and Prevention (EPI) and Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health (Lifestyle) jointly planned the EPI/Lifestyle 2018 Scientific Sessions. The sessions focus on risk factors, obesity, nutrition, physical activity, genetics, metabolism, biomarkers, subclinical disease, clinical disease, healthy populations, global health, and prevention-oriented clinical trials.
The program is designed to present new findings on:
• Cardiovascular disease prevention trials
• Causes and mechanisms of health factors, subclinical, and clinical cardiovascular diseases
• Relationships of nutrition (diet) and physical activity (fitness) with cardiometabolic health
• Relationships of obesity, diabetes, and renal disease with cardiometabolic health
• Genetic and environmental epidemiology of cardiometabolic health
• Effects of lifestyle interventions on cardiometabolic disease and its health factors
• Population trends in cardiovascular diseases and their health factors
• Global cardiovascular health
Conference Objectives:
• Recognize opportunities to address modifiable risk factors for CVD, to help meet AHA components of ideal cardiovascular health.
• Discuss the causes and health consequences of continuing disparities in CVD risk factors among certain racial/ethnic, age, gender, and socioeconomic groups to help meet the AHA 2020 goals for improved cardiovascular health.
• Discuss current guidelines and research needs related to primordial and primary CVD prevention in children and adolescents.
• Explain the concept of precision medicine and identify opportunities and applications for precision medicine in CVD prevention and treatment.
• Identify educational opportunities for early-career cardiologists regarding career pathways and opportunities for research in cardiovascular epidemiology and prevention.
In collaboration with the Council on Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health, and the Council on Epidemiology and Prevention
