OVERVIEW

The Nutrition Society (NS) Winter Conference 2023 is organized by The Nutrition Society (NS) and will be held from Dec 05 - 06, 2023 at The Royal Society, London, England, United Kingdom.

Overview:
Multimorbidity, broadly defined as the co-existence of two or more chronic conditions in one individual, is a major global health challenge. Here in England, it is projected that two-thirds of adults aged 65 years and over will be living with multiple long-term conditions by 2035. The growing problem of multimorbidity is linked to increasing lifespans, socioeconomic and lifestyle-related risk factors, including poor diet and physical inactivity.

This Winter Conference will be structured around four symposia, with many excellent guest speakers already confirmed. It will explore pathways for prevention of multimorbidity across the life course, the role of ageing, the gut-brain-heart connection, and lifestyle strategies for prevention and management of multimorbidity. It will also consider machine learning and precision nutrition approaches for addressing research challenges in multimorbidity. Furthermore, the conference will provide an opportunity to discuss how we can best take forward future research to address this global health priority.

Aim: To understand the role of diet and lifestyle strategies in the prevention and management of multiple morbidities.

Objective:
• To discuss multimorbidity clusters that cause the greatest burden and key lifecourse stages for prevention of multimorbidity

• To consider evidence on diet and lifestyle strategies for prevention and management of multimorbidity

• To consider whether this has implications for dietary guidelines for prevention of multimorbidities

Topic of the conference:
Diet and lifestyle strategies for prevention and management of multimorbidity.
