Clinical Obesity in Adults and Children (2nd ed.)

"Clinical Obesity in Adults and Children, Second Edition" brings together more than 20 internationally recognized experts to provide a timely review of current knowledge.

The text remains an invaluable resource for all healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients who are obese.

Two new co-editors - Professor Bill Dietz, USA and Professor Ian Caterson, Australia - have been added for this second edition.

The content has been reorganised into sections that address obesity and its social and cultural aspects, biology, associated diseases, life stages (pediatric and adult), management, and environmental and policy approaches.

With more contributors from around the globe, the book provides a truly international perspective.

Furthermore, new information about the causes of obesity, its complications and new (and novel) methods of prevention and treatment is also included.
