Completed

The workshop highlighted the science and recent developments in the understanding of emerging modifiable factors associated with the risk of early childhood obesity, including maternal health. The workshop agenda also included presentations and discussion that address sustainable collaborations and new insights into implementing interventions and policies, particularly related to nutrition and physical activity, for the treatment and prevention of obesity in young children.
