Clinical Obesity in Adults and Children

A comprehensive and incisive exploration of obesity in society and the clinical setting

In the newly revised Fourth Edition of Clinical Obesity in Adults and Children, a team of expert medical practitioners deliver a comprehensive exploration of the increasingly widespread disease of obesity. The book discusses topics such as the causes of obesity, the disease model of obesity, the management of adult and childhood obesity, and policy approaches to obesity.

Designed to enable readers to better understand the full complexity of obesityβ€”both within society and in the clinical settingβ€”the book discusses a disease that is the leading cause of ill health around the world. The editors have included contributions from leading international experts in their respective fields that address every major aspect of this often misunderstood disease.

Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of:

  • Introductions to the history and scale of the obesity problem across the world and its epidemiology and social determinants
  • Comprehensive explorations of those affected by obesity, including fetal and infant origins, genetic causes, bias and stigma encountered by those affected by obesity, and the psychobiology of obesity
  • Practical discussions of obesity as a disease, including its co-morbidities of dyslipidaemia, fertility, cardiovascular consequences, and obstructive sleep apnea
  • In-depth examinations of the management of obesity in adults and children, including contemporary approaches to clinical and dietary management, and behavioural treatments

Perfect for doctors and allied health professionals who regularly work with patients suffering from obesity, Clinical Obesity in Adults and Children will also earn a place in the libraries of health researchers and scholars studying obesity and nutrition, dieticians, nutritionists, and anyone else with a professional interest in an increasingly prevalent health problem.
