80th Nestlé Nutrition Institute Workshop: Adolescents' and Young Women's Health and Nutrition: Programming for Future Generations

The focus of the 80th Nestlé Nutrition Institute Workshop (Bali, November 2013) was to get more insight into the influence of maternal health and nutrition on fetal and postnatal growth and health of the offspring. Two previous NNI workshops with the topics ‘Importance of the First 1,000 Days’ and ‘International Nutrition: Achieving Millennium Goals and Beyond’ already had nutrition topics related to pregnancy and lactation as part of the program. The topic of the 80th Nestlé Nutrition Institute Workshop ‘Health and Nutrition in Adolescents and Young Women: Preparing for the Next Generation’ went beyond ‘the first 1,000 days concept’ and discussed the importance of health and nutrition of future mothers from their adolescence to pregnancy.
