PIANOEarly Nutrition and Its Later Consequences
New Opportunities

• Scientific workshop
• held immediately before the 2nd World Congress Of
  Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology,
  Nutrition on July 2nd and 3rd, 2004 in Paris.
• Focus on subjects related to the three projects
  which constitute the  EU Infant Nutrition
  Cluster 
• Workshop supported by EC Quality of Life and
  Management of Living Resources Programme (QoL),
  Key Action 1 on Food, Nutrition and Health
  (Contract No QLK1-CT-2002-30582)

The EU Infant Nutrition Cluster

• Objectives
• To assess the roles of early nutritional
  influences on the current and future well-being
  of the child and its mother.
• To determine the potential of nutritional
  interventions during pregnancy and infancy to
  modify health and well-being.

CHOPINContract Number QLK1-CT-2001-00389www.chi
ldhood-obesity.org

• Objectives
• Trial in 5 European countries to test that early
  protein intake predicts infant growth and later
  risk of childhood obesity.
• Expected Achievements
• Improved health and quality of life by preventing
  childhood obesity.
• Promotion of the benefits for breast-feeding.
• A better understanding of consumer attitutes to
  infant feeding.
• Applications
• Potential for the development of new infant
  foods.
• Safety data for infant formula.
• Information for the training of health
  professionals to an easier advice to consumers
  about infant feeding
• Co-ordinator Professor Berthold Koletzko

PERILIPContract Number QLK1-CT-2001-00138www.wy
e.ic.ac.uk/Perilip

• Objectives
• Study of lipids in perinatal nutrition.
• Expected Achievements
• An improved understanding of the roles of
  different fatty acids in the diets of women at
  the different stages of pregnancy and during
  lactation.
• An improved understanding of the roles played by
  antioxidant status in the perinatal nutrition.
• Applications
• Refinement of dietary recommendations for
  specific times during pregnancy and lactation
• Improvement of formulations for intravenous
  feeding of premature babies
• Protocols to reduce neonatal mortality in
  piglets.
• Co-ordinator Dr. Peter F. Dodds

TRIGRContract Number QLK1-CT-2002-00372www.trig
r.org

• Objectives
• To determine whether denial of nutritional cow
  milk proteins for at least 6 months of life
  reduces the incidence of Type 1 diabetes in
  children with increased genetic risk of
  developing the disease and/or the appearance of
  diabetes associated auto-antibodies by the age of
  6 and 10 years.
• Expected Achievements
• Find an answer to the question of the incidence
  of type 1 diabetes in children by dietary
  intervention in infancy in subjects with
  increased genetic risk.
• Applications
• Potential to use modified formula after exclusive
  breast feeding to decrease the risk of Type
  1diabetes in subjects with increased genetic
  risk.
• Co-ordinator Professor Hans K. Akerblom
