This is the first comprehensive textbook of obesity, addressing the issues clearly and simply. It provides a balanced, coherent account of obesity: how to define and measure it, its epidemiology, the physiological basis, associated diseases, how to assess, manage and treat it, and also strategies for prevention. The book is generously illustrated, including graphs and flow charts for easy reference. Each chapter is thoroughly edited and features a summary/commentary by Gareth Williams. Chapters cite key references so that interested readers may pursue a given topic in more detail.
