Eating and Nutritional Disorders: General Overview and Possible Prospects – Andrea Pezzana, Cloè Dalla Costa

Abstract: Epidemiological data show a gradual but constant increase in cases of eating and nutritional disorders, which has led the Italian Ministry of Health to produce numerous updates and information documents, as well as to carry out an on-going collaboration with associations of patients and family members active around these issues. After an introduction to the epidemiological data and recommended treatments based on scientific evidence, locally available therapies will be presented.
Speakers: Andrea Pezzana, UNISG lecturer, SC Nutrizione Clinica, ASL Città di Torino, on epidemiological data, general overview and policy documents relating to eating and nutrition disorders.
Cloè Dalla Costa, SC Nutrizione Clinica e Disturbi del Comportamento Alimentare, ASL CN2 Alba Bra, on the ASL CN2 area and the treatment options available.

We have adapted the organization of Seminars and Conferences in respect of the government health provisions to guarantee strict compliance from all those involved in the academic experience (students, teachers, administrative staff), in an effort to safeguard everyone’s safety.
