Synopsis:
Obesity is a serious problem: in the year 2000, the World Health Organization published statistics which revealed that globally 302 million people were clinically obese (BMI > 30.0) - 8.2% of the global population. In developed market economy countries, the incidence of obesity is 20.4% of the population and in countries where the economy is in transition the incidence is 17.1% This new edition has been extensively revised and is presented in a larger format. Furthermore, two new, highly respected co-editors, Ian Caterson and William Dietz, have been introduced. This second edition truly has an international author and editor team which present the global perspective on the evidence, cause and treatment of obesity. Clinical Obesity in Adults and Children remains an invaluable resource for all healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients who are obese.
