Online Course | 1 CME Credit
Nutrition is increasingly recognized as a key modulator of immune function and inflammatory pathways in autoimmune disease.
In this CME/CPD-accredited course, you will explore how dietary factors and metabolic health influence immune regulation and disease development. Drawing on selected lectures from the International Friday Meeting series, the course highlights emerging evidence on immuno-nutrition, obesity-related inflammation, and the role of vitamin D in autoimmune thyroid disease.
You will also examine how modern analytical approaches, including Mendelian randomization, help clarify causal relationships between nutrition and autoimmune risk.
Learning outcomes
By completing this course, you will be able to:
- Understand how immuno-nutrition modulates immune responses and inflammation in autoimmune diseases
- Recognize the relationship between obesity, systemic inflammation, and the development of autoimmune conditions
- Explore the role of vitamin D in autoimmune thyroid disease and the use of Mendelian randomization to assess causal relationships
