CDN Conference - “Promoting Healthy Childhood – Preventing Chronic Conditions”
The 16th Annual Chronic Diseases Network Conference: "Promoting Healthy Childhood - Preventing Chronic Conditions," will be held at the Darwin Convention Centre on the 20th – 21st of September 2012. The conference program will explore the range of factors during the early years that contribute to chronic diseases later in life. Chronic diseases can be the result of influences during pregnancy, childhood, or adolescence.
Influences on chronic conditions later in life include, but are not limited to, whether a mother smokes in pregnancy, a child’s diet and level of physical activity, exposure to domestic violence, parenting, and social determinants of health such as level of schooling, and the socioeconomic status of the family.
