Dear Colleagues,
We made an effort to organize a scientific conference of the topic: "Vitamin D - minimum, maximum, optimum" with the participation of many notable experts from Poland and other European countries.
The event will be held in National Stadium Convention Centre in Warsaw. On 19th and 20th of October 2012 we shall host about 800 guests from Poland and Central European countries. The idea behind conference concerning vitamin D and its importance in preventing civilization diseases came out of constant and urgent need for spreading this knowledge amongst medical community as well as the society. The results of recent reports proved many positive effects of vitamin D on human organism at all life stages. Until recently, deficits of vitamin D were most likely combined with risk of developing rickets. Currently, reduced constitutional resources of vitamin D are considered as a significant risk factor for many civilization diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, autoimmune diseases, metabolic disorders, infectious diseases caused by decreased immunity and many neuropsychiatric disorders. An increasing body of evidence of benefit of vitamin D in the human body became the basis for the development of Polish recommendations on the prevention of vitamin D deficiency (2009). Unfortunately, the recommendations on vitamin D supplementation, both in Poland and other countries, are still rigorously preserved only in the first months of life and later vitamin D is not given or is given occasionally. The natural consequence of this situation is the need for continuous awareness of the public and the medical communities. We need to continuously point out that vitamin D plays a role in proper development and functioning of the human body. We believe that it is crucial to share scientifically documented knowledge showing the significance of vitamin D for the health of children, adolescents, professionally active people and seniors.
We believe that the scientific program supported by luminaries from Poland, many European countries and Canada will result with a success, as the conference already arouses a great interest in the medical environment. Therefore, we warmly invite you to participate in this event, which will address critical issues of health policy in Central Europe. The goal of the conference will be to create recommendations on supplementation, therapy, and methods of assessing vitamin D status for populations of Central Europe.
The conference is organized by the Department of Biochemistry and Experimental Medicine, The Children's Memorial Health Institute, Warsaw, Poland.
The Chairman of the Organizing Committee, Pawe? P?udowski, PhD
