While unhealthy diet and sedentary behaviors are second only to
smoking as the leading preventable cause of death in the U.S., less
than 45 percent of adult and pediatric obese patients received any
prior advice from a physician to lose weight. The low rate of
identification and treatment of obesity by physicians can often be
attributed to lack of awareness, lack of counseling skills, and the
high rate of recidivism in overweight patients.
A Clinical Guide for Management of Overweight and Obese Children
and Adults addresses deficiencies in the identification, treatment,
and management of obesity through a collection of monographs
written by internationally recognized authorities. Designed for
healthcare practitioners, this reference provides practical
distinctions and recomendations for adult and pediatric obesity in
a single volume. This clinical guide outlines the management of the
obese patient from the preparation of office accommodations through
the long road of maintained wellness.
The editors offer evaluation and assessment strategies for the
simply overweight patient to severe complex obesity with multiple
comorbidities. It considers treatment modalities from lifestyle
change to bariatric surgery, including exercise, diet, and
pharmacotherapeutic remedies. The book highlights weight management
through behavioral health considerations, the community support
system, and other adjunctive therapies, as part of a comprehensive
weight loss program.
Taking in to consideration the holistic methods incorporated in
the new discipline of obesity medicine, A Clinical Guide for
Management of Overweight and Obese Children and Adults reviews the
state-of-the-art management of thisburgeoning "disease"
epidemic.
