The HYPIEND project was presented by partners from Eurecat and Centre of Postgraduate Medical Education (CMKP/CPME) at the European Lifestyle Medicine Symposium, held from 7-9 October, 2024, in Alicante, Spain.
Dr. Dorota Komar, researcher at Eurecat’s Omic Sciences Unit, contributed to a session on socio-economic, environmental determinants of health with a talk titled “Pollution and Endocrine Disruptors”. Dangers posed by environmental pollutants and their impact on endocrine systems were highlighted, and the HYPIEND project was mentioned as one of the EU research initiatives working to understand and mitigate the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals on sensitive populations.
Members from the ENKORE Cluster projects—EDC-MASLD, ENDOMIX, MERLON, and NEMESIS—also took part in the symposium, presenting the research carried out within their respective projects, further contributing to the collaborative efforts addressing lifestyle and environmental factors affecting public health.
The European Lifestyle Medicine Symposium, organized by the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine and the Spanish Institute of Lifestyle Medicine, gathered experts in lifestyle medicine to discuss health and environmental issues and foster collaboration for meaningful change in public health.
