disease; as well as political issues conclude the presentations.

interest to geneticists, nutritionists and dieticians, exercise
physiologists, cultural anthropologists, historians, pediatricians,
internists, general practitioners, health care providers, scientists
in industry and government, policymakers, and national and
international governmental organizations.
