Summary:
Obesity is a chronic, stigmatized disease that is increasing in
prevalance. Therapeutic options are limited in their effectiveness
and frustration often leads to the discontinuation of any therapy. An
Atlas of Obesity and Weight Control is a clearly written, beautifully
illustrated color atlas on obesity, including its etiology,
development and treatment. The book contains nearly 150 clinical
pictures of obesity and its related conditions, as well as many
pertinent clinical guidelines and up-to-the-minute data on assessment
and treatment. The main chapters cover assessment and prevalence, how
obesity develops and how it becomes a health hazard, classification
and clinical types of obesity, evaluation and introduction to
treatment, behavior modification, diet, exercise, drug treatment and
surgical treatment and provide a timely and much-needed overview of
current knowledge and practice in the treatment of obesity. The
volume concludes with bibliographic references and an index.
Nutritionists, internists, bariatric physicians, dieticians,
endocrinologists, and medical and academic professionals will find An
Atlas of Obesity and Weight Control is an essential reference.
