OVERVIEW
Summer Conference 2018: Getting Energy Balance Right is organized by The Nutrition Society and will be held from Jul 10 - 12, 2018 at University of Leeds, Leeds, England, United Kingdom.
The main purpose of this conference is to provide an overview of the myriad of influencing factors on energy balance, addressing varying needs across the lifespan. Speakers will provide their perspectives on the effects of dietary factors, physical activity, epigenetics and the gut microbiome on energy balance during this three-day conference. The conference itself is designed to be a #HealthyMeeting, with healthy choices for food and group physical activities (to maintain energy balance!) offered throughout.
Learning Outcomes:
• Discuss a range of physiological mechanisms influencing the regulation of energy balance including the microbiome and epigenetics.
• Explain the role of dietary sugars and other dietary factors in energy metabolism and the development of obesity and metabolic disease.
• Relate climate change and the sustainability of food production to dietary recommendations for maintaining energy balance.
• Understand the roles of appetite, behaviour and compensation in the management of energy balance and appraise the public health and clinical implications for weight management.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
