PROGRAMME GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
- The delegates on completion of this CME activity will have a deep understanding of the impact of the food environment on the epidemiology of diabetes with specific reference to: the impact of the food
environment in relation to diet quality, obesity and chronic disease.
- The impact of the built environment (man-made characteristics of the physical environment in which people live, work and recreate, including buildings, streets, open spaces and infrastructure) on Type 2 diabetes will be explored.
- A met analysis of the association of an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and increased exposure to air pollution will be presented.
- The social environment (the social relationships and social context in which groups of people live and interact) will be explored and its impact on diabetes explained.
- Specific members of the gut microbiome that appear to be consistently associated with type 2 diabetes will be discussed.
- We will explore how people with diabetes (PWD) may be affected by natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes, which often lead to disruptions in access to medical supplies or care and have the potential to damage healthcare infrastructure.
- This conference will also describe the health impacts of climate change in older persons.
