Over the past two decades, rates of adult and childhood obesity in
the developed world have risen sharply. By the year 2000, 65% of
the United States population were overweight, 30% of these obese.
Whilst medical treatment has tended to focus on individual habits
of diet and exercise, this approach does little to account for
globally increasing levels of obesity, and the external,
environmental factors that may be responsible. This in-depth study
assembles the evidence for a geographical explanation of current
obesity trends, and is the first work to examine the ways in which
environment and living conditions promote an imbalance of energy
intake over energy expenditure. The book calls upon the expertise
of geographers, nutritionists, epidemiologists, sociologists and
public health researchers, resulting in a broad, multidisciplinary
analysis of this important health issue. Cover graphic designed by
Georgia Witten-Sage.
