Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - On March 20, 2025, the 42nd Nutrition Congress of Diaetology Austria was ceremoniously opened in Vienna. In the fully booked hall, prominent guests from healthcare and nutritional therapy focused on the significant role of proteins. Congress President Prof. Andrea Hofbauer emphasized the immense demand for scientific information in the field of nutrition, especially in the context of the current "protein hype". Not only is the relevance of proteins for muscle health illuminated, but also their influence on different phases of life, from infants to old age. These findings are particularly important because you can support the healthy diet of our society, as diaetology.at

The opening of the congress illustrates the development and professionalization of the profession of dietologists in the past two decades. With the amendment of the MTD law, the foundation for academic training was laid 20 years earlier, which significantly improved the status and competencies of these specialists. This event is not only a platform for the exchange of knowledge, but also an important step to ensure high standards in health care in Austria.
