The 2024 International Conference on Lifestyle Diseases and Natural Medicine (ICO-LIFEMED) was successfully held from December 5 to 6, 2024, at Universitas Prima Indonesia in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. This conference aims to explore the intersection of lifestyle diseases and natural medicine and to discuss how these complementary approaches can be integrated to address the health challenges of the twenty-first century.

On behalf of the organizing committee, I am pleased to announce the Selected Papers for publication in the Proceeding Series: Advances in Health Sciences Research by Atlantis Press. The title will be submitted for evaluation in CPCI (WoS), EI Compendex, and Scopus.

ICO-LIFEMED 2024 has involved 500 audiences from medical faculty students altogether with a Keynote speaker, 3 Invited speakers, 105 papers, 39 posters, six parallel sessions, and seven publishers within two days of fruitful discussion in scientific meetings with several experts from various fields, including academia, clinical practice, and researchers.

Highlights include keynote speeches by Prof. Dr. Cheng Hwee Ming from Universiti Malaya and other distinguished speakers from Chiba Institute of Science Japan, Universiti Sains Malaysia, and Universitas Sumatera Utara, Indonesia.
