Abstract
  • The annual American Heart Association (AHA) EPI

  • Lifestyle Scientific Sessions were combined meetings of the Council on Epidemiology and Prevention (EPI) and the Council on Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health. The 2021 conference's theme was Health Equity and Social Justice and highlighted keynote sessions on health equity, structural racism, and COVID‐19 and cardiovascular disease (CVD) research. Results from observational studies and randomized controlled trials were presented at the meeting, including research on topics such as social determinants of health, maternal and child health, omics, nutrition, physical activity, and sleep. Participants of the virtual conference included clinicians, public health professionals, and trainees. Over 600 people took part in this year's event, which hosted 212 poster presentations, 66 moderated posters, and 80 oral presentations. The meeting chair representing the Council on Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health was Dr Kristie Lancaster from New York University, and Dr Pamela Lutsey from the University of Minnesota represented the EPI council. The vice chairs were Dr Marie‐France Hivert from Harvard University representing the Council on Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health, and Dr Alvaro Alonso representing the EPI council.
