Ordesa

The 6th International Scientific Symposium of the Ordesa Chair in Child Nutrition to be held in Palma de Mallorca on 20 June 2019 will once again present the most important research on nutrition in the first years of life and its influence on the development, health and quality of life of children.

In this edition, the inaugural lecture will be given by Prof. Berthold Koletzko, an international reference in paediatric nutrition who has led numerous projects related to child nutrition and its effects on development and metabolism. Topics such as infant feeding and the challenges for improving future health, current recommendations for the treatment of food allergies, as well as the prevention of malnutrition in infancy will also be addressed. Finally, the role of the microbiota and the prospects that research in this field is opening up for improving health will be the subject of the closing lecture by Prof. John Cryan.
