👏👏👏Congratulations to EASO Early Career Network Board member Britt Jensen, who won first place for the best abstract presentation and Julie Aarestrup who won first prize for the best poster! DSAF president, EASO COTF Co-chair and EASO_President too #NOM2022 👏👏👏

Wow! I have only just seen this…These are hugely stigmatising comments from Lord Robathan in the House of Lords about something he clearly doesn’t understand. Obesity is a chronic relapsing condition, start recognising it as one!! #obesityisnotachoice All About Obesity

EASO congratulates the hosts and organisers of the Nordic Obesity meeting held in Copenhagen, Denmark 🇩🇰 Read more about the key take-home messages - #obesity biology, prevention and management strategies. easo.org/nordic-obesity… Ximena Ramos Salas @EASOPresident #NOM2022

Dr Jennifer Baker EASO co-chair of #COTF at #ECNsevilla, reinforces that BMI is an observational tool and is useful at the population level but is inappropriate for diagnosis. Particularly with children, measurement is essential.

The use of person-first language is the standard for respectfully addressing individuals living with chronic diseases; we don’t label people because of their illness. #obesity @EASOPresident

Children with #overweight have an increased risk of developing many #diseases as adults. New #research adds chronic kidney disease to the diseases associated with overweight in #childhood. #sciencenewsdk sciencenews.dk/en/overweight-…

Jennifer Baker's WCRF funded research on display at #ECO2023 showed that higher childhood BMI was associated with a lower risk of dense breasts, thus, breast cancer. wcrf.org/researchwefund…

Having an elevated body mass index (BMI) in #childhood is associated with an increased risk of developing obesity-related #cancer in adulthood. #sciencenewsdk sciencenews.dk/en/overweight-…

I am very grateful to be awarded an INSPIRE Research Challenge grant to explore the overlooked links between early life infections and adult cancer. Thank you for the support WCRF International 🙏 Looking forward to the collaboration Jennifer Baker David Burgner Karen Dybkaer Rikke Jacobsen

In recent years, doctors and researchers have strongly focused on children developing #obesity. However, a new study shows that many #children have #underweight. #sciencenewsdk sciencenews.dk/en/underweight…

We are excited to announce that our 2nd INSPIRE Research Challenge for early career researchers is now open! Find out more here: wcrf.org/research-we-fu… WCRF International @aicr Union for International #CancerControl IARC

It's great to meet up with one of our #INSPIRE grant holders at #ECO2024 and learn more about their work. Julie Aarestrup is carrying out innovative work to help us understand the relationship between early life infections to prevent cancer in adults.
