Following the Department of Health publication of the obesity action plan in 2016, the ASOI is eager to facilitate addressing the challenge of obesity prevention and treatment in Ireland. Obesity is a complex problem with nutritional, activity-related, psychological, biological and social determinants. Consequently, any realistic solutions must be multifaceted and be implemented as part of a suite of measures.
The theme of the 2017 ASOI annual scientific conference is child and adolescent obesity and interested individuals are invited to register at www.asoi.info The meeting is supported by the Irish Research Council and aims to identify knowledge gaps concerning obesity prevention and highlight the most contemporary evidence regarding obesity treatment throughout childhood.
