First Workshop on Telemedicine on Obesity, Overweight and Eating Disorders, Valencia, Spain
30 January 2012 - 30 January 2012
Spain
The First Workshop on Telemedicine on Obesity, Overweight and Eating Disorders will take place from 30 January to 4 February 2012 in Valencia, Spain.
Studies have shown that by the year 2015, approximately 2.3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million will be obese. This is up from 2005, when 1.6 billion adults were estimated to be overweight, and 400 million obese. Obesity increases the risk of many health complications such as cardiovascular diseases, some types of cancer, osteoarthritis, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hypercholesterolemia, and is associated with early death.
The workshop will highlight the use of technology-enhanced approaches in overweight and obesity treatment in clinical psychology and medicine. New results and proposals will also be presented.For further information on the event, please visit: here(opens in new window)
