EPI/Lifestyle Program Information

Program Description

The primary goal of EPI/Lifestyle 2019 Scientific Sessions is to promote the development and application of translational and population science to prevent heart disease and stroke and foster cardiovascular health. The Councils on Epidemiology and Prevention (EPI) and Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health (Lifestyle) jointly planned the EPI/Lifestyle 2019 Scientific Sessions. The sessions focus on risk factors, obesity, nutrition, physical activity, genetics, metabolism, biomarkers, subclinical disease, clinical disease, healthy populations, global health, and prevention-oriented clinical trials.

The program is designed to present new findings on:

Cardiovascular disease prevention trials
Causes and mechanisms of health factors, subclinical, and clinical cardiovascular diseases
Relationships of nutrition (diet) and physical activity (fitness) with cardiometabolic health
Relationships of obesity, diabetes, and renal disease with cardiometabolic health
Genetic and environmental epidemiology of cardiometabolic health
Effects of lifestyle interventions on cardiometabolic disease and its health factors
Population trends in cardiovascular diseases and their health factors
Global cardiovascular health

The program also will provide participants with the opportunity to learn current information about:

Advances in measuring diet and physical activity
Advances in techniques in preventive cardiology
Behavioral strategies to promote and sustain lifestyle modifications
Outcomes research and guideline development related to cardiovascular health
Advances in methods relevant to observational studies, clinical trials and population surveillance

The program includes presentations of new high-quality, high-impact research, organized around oral, moderated poster, and poster abstract presentations. Special translational science lectures and debates address current issues relevant to cardiometabolic health and preventive cardiology. This format maximizes the opportunities for thought-provoking multidisciplinary interactions across a wide spectrum of scientists, junior and established. The sessions are designed to enhance the careers of young and early mid-career investigators and practitioners committed to the promotion of cardiometabolic health.

Who Attends

The conference is designed to benefit researchers as well as public health practitioners and clinicians. The meeting should appeal to physicians, epidemiologists, dietitians, nutritional scientists, exercise physiologists, behavioral scientists, biostatisticians, pharmacists, physician assistants, nurses, school health professionals and other health scientists.

Learning Objectives

Recognize opportunities to address modifiable risk factors for CVD, to help meet AHA components of ideal cardiovascular health.
Discuss the causes and health consequences of continuing disparities in CVD risk factors among certain racial/ethnic, age, gender, and socioeconomic groups to help meet the AHA 2020 goals for improved cardiovascular health.
Discuss current guidelines and research needs related to primordial and primary CVD prevention in children and adolescents.
Explain the concept of precision medicine and identify opportunities and applications for precision medicine in CVD prevention and treatment.
Identify educational opportunities for early-career cardiologists regarding career pathways and opportunities for research in cardiovascular epidemiology and prevention.
