Nutrition Society Winter Conference: Diet, Nutrition and Mental Health and Wellbeing

Recent reports suggest 70 million working days are lost to stress alone and the cost to the UK economy amounts to as much as 4.5% GDP. With an ageing population age-associated conditions, such as dementia are becoming ever more prevalent, likewise depression and other psychopathologies are elevated risk comorbidities with obesity and unchecked rises in this condition will surely associate with a decline in the population’s mental health and wellbeing. Nutrition has been implicated in behaviour, mood and in the pathology and treatment of mental illness. The purpose of this conference is to review where the evidence is strong, where there are unmet needs for research and to draw together the community working in this area.
