During the Satellite at the European
Congress on Obesity in 2009 organised by Diogenes, new insights and results on
weight (re)gain will be presented by Diogenes researchers and external experts,
including:
- the relative efficacy of different diets varying in protein content and
carbohydrate Glycaemic Index
in preventing weight gain, regain and co-morbidities
- Genomics-based predictors of weight
variation, and biomarkers of nutritional status
- Epidemiological identification of key dietary factors influencing development
of obesity and risk of
co-morbidities, across Europe
- A new set of psycho/behavioural tools to identify predictors of weight (re)gain
- An obesity risk and behavioural advice screening tool
- Identification of novel food ingredients
systems, which induce satiety or satiation while remaining in
the preferred sensory range
