Track: Nutrition, Obesity & Metabolic Syndrome

Session Overview

This session provides a comprehensive overview of the nutrition-related determinants of obesity and metabolic syndrome, including mechanisms of energy imbalance, hormonal regulation of appetite, and metabolic dysregulation. It explores evidence-based strategies for prevention and management, highlighting the importance of personalized nutrition and long-term lifestyle modification.

Key Topics

Dietary Patterns and Nutritional Assessment: Dietary patterns including high intake of processed foods, sugary beverages, and low fiber diets contribute to obesity and metabolic disorders. Nutritional assessment helps identify dietary risk factors and guide interventions.

Obesity Pathophysiology and Risk Factors: Obesity results from complex interactions between genetics, environment, behavior, and metabolic regulation, and is associated with increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic conditions.

Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Syndrome: Insulin resistance is a central feature of metabolic syndrome, which includes abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and impaired glucose tolerance, increasing the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Lifestyle Interventions and Weight Management: Lifestyle modification, including calorie control, physical activity, and behavioral therapy, is a primary approach for weight management and metabolic improvement.

Public Health Strategies and Prevention: Public health initiatives such as community programs, policy changes, and health education play a key role in preventing obesity and reducing the burden of metabolic syndrome at the population level.

Learning Objectives

Participants will understand the relationship between nutrition, obesity, and metabolic syndrome and their impact on metabolic health. The session aims to enhance knowledge of evidence-based dietary and lifestyle interventions for prevention and management. Attendees will learn how insulin resistance contributes to metabolic syndrome and diabetes risk. The session also emphasizes the importance of integrated public health strategies to reduce obesity and improve long-term outcomes.
