Obesity now represents a serious problem in industrialized nations. An
increasingly large number of people, especially children, are overweight
- leading to subsequent illness and a reduced life expectancy.
At
long last, with this first evidence-based review of the current
intervention strategies for treating and preventing obesity clinicians
and health insurers have a guide that allows them to select the most
efficient and cost-effective method of treatment for any given state of
the illness. The whole is backed by extensive tables, a checklist for
quality assurance and an extensive glossary.
With a foreword by George A. Bray, Boyd Professor at Louisiana State University and Chief of the Clinical Obesity section:
"Treating and Preventing Obesity: An Evidence Based Review
provides a careful and thoughtful assessment of this disease and the
options for its control and treatment. It started with the medical model
where cure is the outcome. This valuable report provides a timely new
analysis of a growing problem."
