2nd CROATIAN LIFESTYLE
MEDICINE CONGRESS

From Theory to Practice: the second Croatian Lifestyle Medicine Congress took place from 26 to 28 April 2024 at the University of Split School of Medicine. At its heart was a question shared across our professions: how can knowledge of healthy habits become practical support for patients and communities?

 

Dear colleagues, guests and friends,

 

It is a great honour to invite you to the Croatian Lifestyle Medicine Congress with International Participation for the second year. Organised by the Croatian Lifestyle Medicine Association, the University of Split School of Medicine and the Faculty of Kinesiology in Split, the congress will take place at the University of Split School of Medicine from 26 to 28 April 2024.

 

Following the first Croatian Lifestyle Medicine Congress in Zagreb, which brought together more than 150 professionals and participants from medicine, kinesiology, nutrition and psychology, we continue to present scientific evidence relevant to the prevention and treatment of chronic noncommunicable diseases, with an emphasis on healthy lifestyle change.

 

The congress theme, From Theory to Practice, reflects the focus on applying current evidence in everyday work. Through lectures and workshops, speakers will discuss good practice, the Mediterranean diet, resistance training, food as medicine, sleep, behaviour change and other areas of lifestyle medicine.

 

Join us to learn, develop practical tools for work with patients and clients, meet colleagues and build new professional connections.

 

Thank you for your interest. We look forward to welcoming you to Split.
