Abstract
Today more than ever, obesity is a global public health threat and is increasing among children in both developed and developing countries. Evidence for this growing trend has been reported in many countries and underscores the epidemiological and nutritional transitions, which reflected in shifts in disease types, patterns, morbidity and mortality. Due to its long-term adverse effects, the prevention and management of obesity has received the full WHO recognition. WHO has encouraged many countries to prioritise strategies to tackle the obsogenic environment of this “Pandemic Crisis".
The International Forum for Public Health –IFPH is organising two-day training workshop ‘Globesity: Challenges and Management (GCM)’. It aims to cover critical updates on: Epidemiology of Obesity; Modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors; Metabolic Syndrome; Management of Obesity; Implementing Nutrition Self-Management, Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods in healthy lifestyle.
Aim
The aim of GCM workshop is to share ideas and build consensus on the need for a concerted effort to strengthen human and institutional capacity to combat obesity as public health threat and to formulate bold action plan to make it happen.
Workshop Specific Aims:
The workshop also aims to consolidate and expand on causes of obesity in children to ensure participants have a solid scientific grasp of physiological contexts within which nutritional components play a key role. Standards used to screen and monitor obesity in children are introduced and nutritional strategies to enhance healthy lifestyle are explained. The workshop will also explore the evidence-base related to the relationship between diet and health and the role that nutritional interventions can have in promoting health and treating disease both in individuals and populations.
Learning objectives
