EGEA 2005, the Third International Conference on the Health
Benefits of the Mediterranean Diet, will highlight the
latest scientific advances on how dietary changes can
help prevent obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular
diseases, and cancers. Focusing on the twin concepts of
energy density and nutrient density of foods, conference
participants will outline the links between eating and
snacking habits, weight management, physical activity,
metabolic syndrome, and chronic disease risk.
EGEA 3 will provide a multidisciplinary approach to
the prevention of chronic diseases, bringing together
researchers, clinicians, nutrition educators, policy
makers and food industry representatives. Eminent international
scientists will share their latest findings and will
discuss effective dietary prevention strategies with
health professionals and with representatives of national
and international health agencies. This multi-level
approach aims at contributing to the development of
a concerted agenda for the promotion of better health
through improved nutrition and lifestyle.
