Description
The Division of Lung Diseases at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will convene a two-day virtual workshop entitled “Advancing Nutrition Research to Promote Respiratory Health in Adults” on September 19th-20th, 2024, from 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM EST. This workshop will bring together multidisciplinary researchers, including nutritional and dietary experts, pulmonary researchers, and data scientists, to discuss the current state of science regarding nutrition and diet in respiratory health and diseases and to identify critical research gaps, challenges and opportunities. The primary goal of this workshop is to advance nutrition research to promote respiratory health and to aid in the prevention and management of diseases in adults with chronic respiratory conditions.
Key Objectives:
- Leverage large population cohort studies and epidemiological evidence to understand the impact of nutrition and diet on the prevalence and outcomes of respiratory diseases in adults, with a focus on vulnerable populations.
- Analyze the impact of climate change on food systems and security through a global health lens and its implications for respiratory health and diseases.
- Discuss the mechanisms through which nutrition and diet influence respiratory health and diseases.
- Present emerging precision measures (including multi-omics) of nutrition and diet in epidemiological and interventional studies of respiratory health and diseases.
- Discuss the evidence on the efficacy, implementation, and dissemination of dietary and nutritional interventions for respiratory disease prevention and control.
- Identify critical research gaps, challenges, opportunities, and key research questions.
