Conference venue: AGES, Spargelfeldstraße 191, 1220, Vienna
Program and informations: www.oege.at
We have already held two successful International Congresses of Nutritionists in Osijek and Varaždin, and this time we have due to the high level of interest chosen Zagreb, as a city that offers more, just like us. This year the organizators of the 3rd International Congress of Nutritionists are the Croatian Association of Nutritionists, Association Nutrition Balance and the Croatian Academic Centre of Applied Nutrition.
The main objective of the Congress is to show the power of multidisciplinarity and associate professionals from different areas of food science, medicine, agronomy, gastro-enology, pharmacy, biochemistry, psychology and kinesiology from Croatia and abroad (Austria, England, Holland, Italy, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Macedonia, Montenegro, ..) which will monitor the exposure to more than 300 participants of the Congress.
The Congress consists of a series of lectures, workshops, round tables and sponsored lectures where experts from different fields present and explain the latest scientific knowledge and the actuality associated with nutrition as a science, nutrition as part of the treatment process, but also part of the life of pleasure and sustainable development.
Promotion of healthy lifestyle is the subject of interest of an increasing number of people, not only on an individual level but also at the global level which is why to this topic the media also pays a lot of attention so the 3rd International Congress of Nutritionists will be accompanied by the leading national media houses.
It is our honor to point out that the General sponsor of this year's Congress is again the company Spar Croatia Ltd.

Dear collaborator,
I would like to welcome you to the Pre-Congress Workshops of the III World Congress of Public Health Nutrition that will be held on November 5-7, 2014.
This event is organized by the NGO Nutrition without Borders in collaboration with the MRC International Nutrition Group Field Station and the Government of the Republic of the Gambia.
The objective of this event is to analyze the contribution of different international stakeholders towards supporting national governments in reducing food insecurity and child malnutrition, and to discuss the roles and interactions of the distinct organizations. Moreover, a key objective is to prepare a white paper addressing nutrition resilience.
The format of the Workshop consists of roundtable discussions and symposium sessions. International experts from Organizations that are involved in the area of child malnutrition will be invited and will debate on the development of new strategies and perspectives.
As the president of the Pre-Congress, I would like to invite sponsors to take an active part in the congress by sharing and taking on the Congress’s focus to reduce food insecurity and child malnutrition.
We hope to be able to count on your much valued collaboration. Your participation as a Sponsor is critical in this congress. Walking together is the best way of finding a solution to major nutritional problems.
Government, Institutions, Industry and the Scientific Community, we all share this responsibility.
Please, join us, and work with us, in the Pre-Congress Workshops of the III World Congress of Public Health Nutrition.

We, the undersigned, meeting together at the 5th EUPHA European Conference on Migrant and EthnicMinority Health held at the Andalusian School of Public Health (Spain), on the 9th to 12th April 2014,
hereby endorse the following statement:
When many European countries are implementing austerity policies, it is especially important that the
public health community should speak out on behalf of the poor and marginalised. Among them are
many migrants, who for various reasons are especially vulnerable at this time.
• First, austerity policies mean that many people, migrants and non-migrants, are facing a
worsening of their already poor conditions, with damaging consequences for their mental health
and wellbeing. As migrants frequently take the jobs that no-one else is willing to perform,
involving poorly paid, precarious, and often dangerous employment, they are especially
vulnerable.
• Second, those who are already vulnerable suffer most from cuts in health and social services.
Among them are many migrants, who may have unmet mental and physical health needs as a
consequence of conditions prior to, during, and after migration and now face worsening access to
services.
• Third, a few countries have used the economic crisis to reduce entitlement to health and social
services, in some cases specifically targeting undocumented migrants, with obvious implications
for their health.
• Fourth, in some countries increasingly harsh restrictions on undocumented migrants, including
long periods of detention in sub-standard facilities pose a serious threat to their physical and
mental health.
• Fifth, in some countries we are seeing the rise of xenophobia, leading to discrimination and
violence against migrants and ethnic minorities of long standing, especially the Roma, affecting
their health and accentuating the barriers they face in obtaining appropriate health care.
We call on all European governments to take concrete steps to protect the health of migrants and ethnic
minorities in Europe and, specifically, to demonstrate that they will live up to their obligations under the
International Covenant on Social, Economic and Cultural Rights and the European Social Charter to
ensure the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental
health, and in particular to their obligation of refraining from denying or limiting equal access to
healthcare for all persons, including undocumented migrants and minorities, highlighted in the General
Comment No. 14 of the Committee on Social, Economic and Cultural Rights, so as to recognise the
contribution that everyone, including migrants and ethnic minorities, make to the social and economic
development of Europe.

The College of Contemporary Health brings together leading obesity experts to create a free online learning course to tackle the national obesity crisis.
London, United Kingdom 7 April, 2014 – The College of Contemporary Health (CCH), a UK-based online College, is bringing together leading obesity experts with the mission to make the UK healthcare profession the most obesity literate in the world. Just over a quarter of UK adults are classified as obese, according to the NHS Health and Social Care Information Centre report. Obesity has an estimated annual cost to the UK economy in excess of £16 billion a year.
CCH believes it is necessary to address the problem head on, and today has launched the UK’s first free massive open online course (MOOC) on Living and Working with Obesity. The course is for those who live with obesity, including health care professionals who deal with the condition every day.
This free 4-week course uses an innovative, easy-to-use digital platform, CCH-X, that features a unique configuration of social media tools. The course addresses the causes, consequences and challenges that society faces today in the pervasive obesogenic environment we all live in, and encourages people to explore their own solutions to the problem.

‘ SALT REDUCTION IS IMPORTANT, BUT MY INTAKE IS FINE’
FIRST GLOBAL OVERVIEW ON HOW AND WHY WE CONSUME SALT
A new research study conducted by a consortium of International Union of Nutritional Societies (IUNS) and Unilever scientists provides a first global overview of consumer perception of salt consumption. The study will be presented at the Unilever satellite symposium on Behavior Change for Better Health during the IUNS 20th ICN Congress 2013 in Granada, Spain by Prof Yang (IUNS-China) and Dr Feunekes (Unilever).
It is well established that salt reduction is important to reduce hypertension and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a maximum of 5 grams of salt per day for adults. Nevertheless, worldwide salt intake is well above the recommended levels. For public health strategies to be effective however, it is important to understand salt intake behaviors. Governments and NGOs need to motivate and educate their populations with strategies, adapted locally, to speed up the reduction of salt intake as a major strategy to promote health.
Within the context of a partnership between the International Union of Nutrition Sciences (IUNS) and Unilever on Behavior Change for Better Health an international study was conducted across eight countries and five continents, to gain insights on knowledge, attitudes and behaviours related to salt consumption in the general population.
Representative samples, stratified for age and gender, were recruited from online cohorts from Germany/Austria, United States of America, Hungary, India, China, South Africa, and Brazil and 6,987 participants completed a comprehensive web-based questionnaire on salt intake and associated behaviours. The study was co-authored by leaders of national nutrition societies in each country of the study & the President of the IUNS, Professor Ibrahim Elmadfa.
A key finding was that, overall, salt reduction was perceived to be healthy and important, yet the majority was unaware of the official daily salt intake recommendations or the sources of salt in their diet. “Although over one third of the people around the world is currently not interested in reducing their salt intake, the positive news is that the majority wants to learn about why salt is bad for health and how to reduce salt intakes” says Dr Feunekes.
Participants saw themselves as mainly responsible for their salt intake, but also acknowledged the role of others. As such, strategies to reduce salt intake must stimulate an interest to reduce salt intake through an improved understanding of intake levels and dietary sources of salt.
The study shows that around 70% of salt intake is derived from bought food, ranging from 42% in India to 83% in USA; the rest is added during food preparation and at the table.
‘The findings provide a good basis for salt reduction strategies and policies and provide unique insights into knowledge, attitudes and behaviors relating to salt consumption’, says IUNS President Professor Elmadfa, ‘While some aspects of salt reduction can be globally implemented, local strategies should be tailored to match the specific needs of the population’.
The study is summarized in a soon-to-be released scientific paper in the journal Appetite: ‘Barriers for progress in salt reduction in the general population: An international study’, (2013).

The study will be published in September, during the IUNS ICN 2013 meeting in Granada, Spain.
