Summary
.
This 2 volume set comprises of the 3rd edition of Volume 1 and the 4th
edition of Volume 2, both published in 2014.
.
In recent years, weve developed a much better grasp of the biological and
other factors associated with the development of obesity. New clinical
trials, discoveries related to drug use, and greater understanding of the
benefits of weight loss in obese patients have expanded the field of
research in this area. Reflecting our evolving understanding of causes and
consequences, the two-volume set Handbook of Obesity explores every facet
of this disease from cause to cure.
.
Volume One: Epidemiology, Etiology, and Physiopathology provides
comprehensive coverage of the biological, behavioral, and environmental
determinants of this critical illness. This new edition is divided into
five sections exploring essential factors involved in obesity research:
.
History, Definitions, and Prevalence: Changes over time surrounding our
notion of obesity, adiposity traits, and the epidemiology of obesity in
various populations
.
Biological Determinants of Obesity: Genetic and epigenetic evidence, fetal
life and postnatal influences, the use of animal models in research,
endocrine issues, molecular aspects, and issues related to viral infection
and adiposity
.
Behavioral Determinants of Obesity: The effects of food and ingestive
behavior, smoking, breastfeeding, sleep duration, work/leisure time
activity, and sedentary behavior
.
Environmental, Social, and Cultural Determinants of Obesity: The role of
agriculture and the food industry, the urban environment, social and
economic aspects, cultural factors, environmental pollutants, and economic
costs
.
Consequences of Obesity: How excess weight affects and exacerbates a range
of comorbid conditions, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease,
pulmonary disorders, arthritis, and cancer
.
.
Volume Two: Clinical Applications explores essential factors involved in
obesity prevention and treatment:
.
Prevention of Obesity: Strategies such as reengineering the environment to
encourage physical activity and prevent excessive weight gain in children
and adults
.
Evaluation of the Overweight or Obese Patient: Methods for assessing the
overweight individual and the role of the primary care physician in
patient management
.
Medical Treatment of Obesity and Weight Management Issues in the Treatment
of Obesity: Lifestyle for weight loss and weight maintenance, diet and
exercise, medications, herbal agents, and issues related to childhood
obesity
.
Surgery: Screening for bariatric surgery, laparoscopic banding,
liposuction, and other surgical techniques and strategies for operative
and postoperative care
.
Epilogue: The economic assessment and cost-effectiveness of treatments for
obesity, how obesity is viewed internationally, and governmental responses
to challenges arising from the growing prevalence of obesity
.
Presenting the insight of international experts and edited by two eminent
leaders in obesity research, this two-volume set is essential for health
care providers in search of a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to
diagnosing and treating obese patients.
