Overview

Nutrition- and diet-related exposures and outcomes travel within, across, and between families and generations. These nutritional influences can occur at the individual, family, community, or societal levels to ultimately have an impact on health and disease. This workshop will bring together thought leaders in nutrition and diet with leaders in family and generational health to identify research opportunities and challenges.

For this workshop multigenerational is defined as across generations.

Objectives

1. Identify the opportunities to advance research on multigenerational nutrition influences on health and disease.
2. Identify the key challenges to advancing research on multigenerational nutrition influences on health and disease.
3. Establish strategies to realize opportunities and overcome challenges to advance the field.
