Title:

Global Health Histories Seminars: Infant growth and nutrition



Date:

Wednesday, February 2, 2011



Time:

12:00 PM - 2:00 PM CET


Rates and patterns of growth in weight of infants vary geographically, related to how the infants are fed and the prevalence of disease, and have changed over the last 100 years.

In this seminar, Lawrence Weaver, Professor of Public Health at the University of Glasgow, argues that the WHO infant growth standard should not alone be regarded as an ideal growth trajectory for all babies.

Professor Weaver, a consultant paediatrician at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow, is an expert in the history of nutrition, growth and development in early life.

His co-speaker in this seminar is Doctor Mercedes de Onis, Dept of Nutrition for Health and Development, WHO
