Are you attending the @NutritionSoc 's Winter Conference 2023 next week (December 5-6, 2023)?
Healthcare systems face a cost crisis as they try to provide an increasingly wide range of transformative but expensive treatments to the older, sicker populations. Better prevention, to complement new treatments, is essential to provide healthier lives and sustainable healthcare.
Breakfast symposium supported by Nightingale Health (details below) will feature two speakers describing how large-scale multi-omics can be used to understand who is at highest risk for future diseases, and how factors like diet, lifestyle, and response to stress can influence and reduce that risk:
Breakfast symposiums: Using large-scale multi-omics to understand, predict, and prevent chronic disease
Date and time: 6 December 2023 at 8:00 a.m.
Speakers:
Dr. Luke Jostins-Dean will present nuclear magnetic resonance metabolomics from half a million blood samples from three national biobanks. He will show how metabolomic risk scores can identify individuals at high risk of 12 diseases that cause the most morbidity, and compare to genetic risk scores for the same diseases. For seven diseases (heart attack, stroke, lung cancer, type 2 diabetes, COPD, alcoholic liver disease, and liver cirrhosis) this high risk group has > 3-fold increased risk of disease (ranging up to 10-fold for diabetes and liver disease), and there are existing medical and lifestyle interventions available to reduce future risk.
Dr. Kate Bermingham will present results from the PREDICT-1 study of 1000 individuals, exploring anthropometric measurements, diet and gut microbiome data, and fasting and postprandial cardiometabolic blood measurements among different population groups (e.g. post-menopausal women), and how they react in response to diet.
