The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared obesity a global
epidemic. Its prevalence has more than doubled since 1980, causing
a myriad of health problems for children and adults. Obesity:
Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, and Prevention, Second Edition
explores the molecular mechanisms and pathophysiology leading to
obesity and metabolic disorders. It examines the safety of obesity
drugs and drug development strategies as well as the role of
physical activity, nutrition, and nutraceutical supplements in
obesity treatment and prevention. With contributions from a cadre
of internationally known experts, the book covers a spectrum of
essential topics related to this widespread phenomenon, including:
The relationship between obesity and type 2 diabetes The addiction
mechanism related to refined foods as a significant factor in
obesity The correlation between obesity and environmental
estrogens, endocrine disruption, cigarette smoking, and
inflammatory response The role of drug and chemical toxicities and
genomic imprinting disorders in obesity The safety and regulation
of prescription and over-the- counter weight loss drugs Various
diets, the glycemic index, and the role of exercise in treating or
preventing obesity Controversy over effective vs. banned weight
loss supplements Childhood obesity and its prevention Bariatric
surgery for weight management and reversal of metabolic disorders
As the public has become more aware of the deadly adverse effects
of obesity, numerous products and programs have targeted the
overweight and obese population, many with dangerous side effects.
It is essential that we develop strategic, therapeutic intervention
supported by credible data. This volume is an ideal reference point
for researchers looking for new avenues of inquiry and practicing
medical professionals, clinical nutritionists, and dietitians
seeking guidance for their patients.
