The Effect of Diet on the Mental Performance of Children – The NUTRIMENTHE project's Final International Conference

This final conference will showcase the results of the NUTRIMENTHE project, providing delegates with a wealth of new information and key messages about how diet during pregnancy and childhood, can influence later mental performance.

13 September 2013 - 14 September 2013
Austria
NUTRIMENTHE was set up in 2008 to improve our knowledge of how pre-natal and childhood nutrition affects later mental performance. In particular, the role of specific nutrients (including B-vitamins, iron, iodine, protein in breast and formula milk and omega-3 fatty acids) in the cognitive, emotional and behavioural development of children from before birth to age eight. The question of how parents and teachers perceive that food effects children’s mental function has also been addressed, plus the economic impact of improving mental performance.

Delegates to the NUTRIMENTHE International Conference can submit abstracts exhibition as poster or, for oral presentation.

Abstract submission deadline: 30th April 2013.
