IISPV researchers will also give talks on how nutrition and lifestyles contribute to improving our health.
Reus, Wednesday 9 October. The Pere Virgili Institute for Health Research (IISPV) and the research it develops in the field of health will be present at the 52nd edition of ExproReus, which will be held from Thursday 10 October until Sunday 13, in the facilities of firaReus Events (Bellissens Avenue, 40, Reus). During the weekend, the IISPV will be offering different activities in the space Foodtech & Nutrition Hub, a meeting point for companies within Redessa that are dedicated to offering technology, innovation and nutrition services.
On the one hand, researchers from the IISPV will offer free health tests to citizens who pass by the IISPV counter located in the Hub space. Specifically, body composition analyses will be carried out, tests which, in a very simple way and with a scale very similar to those used in the home, are used to identify the distribution of body fat and define what percentage of our weight is fat and what is water.
On the other hand, the IISPV will offer the so-called glycosylated haemoglobin controls in capillary blood, analyses that serve to determine the average blood glucose levels over the last three months. These tests, which are carried out with a small prick of the finger, are used to diagnose pre-diabetes or diabetes. Both these tests and the body composition tests will be carried out on Saturday evening between 18:00 and 20:00.
IISPV research staff will also give talks on how nutrition and lifestyle contribute to improving well-being and health. In this regard, the following lectures will be given:
In addition, on Saturday 12th, at 17:30h, Dr. Joan Vendrell, director of the IISPV, will give a talk in which he will present the IISPV and the research activity it carries out. In this sense and in the field of nutrition, it should be noted that there are several studies led by the Institute with findings that are helping to improve the diagnosis and prevention of diseases with a high incidence in our society, such as obesity, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease or mental disorders.
