Sessions and Tracks

Track 1: Nutrition and Food Science

Food science deals with the general properties of food like (physical and chemical properties). It also deals with the changes which takes place due to package, storage of the food. Where as nutrition describes the interaction of nutrients and other food substances. It also includes food intake, absorption, integration, metabolism, catabolism and excretion. So both nutrition and food science together will develop a well-organized track to maintain a healthy life.

Infection and deficiency disorder
Organic and inorganic complexes in food
Vitamin Deficiency Diseases

Track 2: Nutrition and Metabolism

The diet of an organism is what it consumes in its meal, which is basically determined by the availability and palatability of foods. For humans, a healthy diet includes preparation of food and other methods of packing which will preserve the nutrients from oxidation, heat or leaching, and this will reduces the risk of foodborne diseases. Metabolism is a key factor which will help to attain the conversion of food into energy to maintain cellular processes; building blocks for nucleic acids lipids, proteins, and some carbohydrates; and the elimination of nitrogenous wastes for the complete availability of nutrients to the body.

Track 3: Paediatric & Geriatric Nutrition

The paediatric nutrition describes about the healthy diet which will maintain appropriate availability of the nutrients to infants. This will also avoid the high nutrition risk and low nutrition risk which may leads to several acute and chronic diseases like; Malnutrition, Iron-deficiency anaemia, Vitamin-deficiency anaemia, Nutritional deficiency anaemia. Geriatric Nutrition put on nutrition principles to delay effects like aging and disease related to it. With age many physical changes occur. Once the body reaches physiologic maturity, the rate of cell regeneration will be decreased compare to rate of degeneration which will affect the management of the psychosocial, physical commonly associated with growing old.

WHY ABU DHABI, UAE:

There is a need to focus on the issue of obesity all the more genuinely in the UAE, as it has been found to greatly affect the wellbeing of people in Abu Dhabi, UAE than drinking or smoking. Women tend to have a higher body fat percentage than men for a given BMI. Obesity in UAE is twice the world rate. More than 2.1 billion people – close to 30 per cent of the global population – are overweight or obese.

38 % of married women in the UAE were overweight and 33 % were obese, in men 40.3 % were overweight, but only 15.8 % were obese. It was found that around 20 per cent of the population in UAE is suffering with obesity, which is more than the U.S. These results are quite dramatic and have a huge impact on the UAE, as obesity is a big health problem.

IMPORTANCE AND SCOPE:

The effects of overweight continued to increase and have never come to an end since many years. The chances of being food insecure are higher for women than men in every continent. The immense advancement of the technology, lack of physical activities and high fat content in the diet are the many factors for obesity. About 30% of the world population where affected with obesity. So there is a need to upturn the awareness about obesity and the ways and means which are available to avoid it with a proper nutritional diet should be spotlight.

RECENT RESEARCHES ON OBESITY WORLDWIDE:

Today worldwide children under 5 who are overweight (high weight-for-height): 40 million (5.9%), School-age children and adolescents who are overweight: 338 million, Adults who are obese: 672 million (13% or 1 in 8 adults).

More than 2.1 billion people close to 30 per cent of the global population today are overweight or obese, according to the World Health Organisation. Obesity is costing the world $2 trillion a year, nearly as expensive as armed conflict and smoking. This is a ticking time bomb.
