There is growing concern worldwide regarding the rising prevalence
of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents whereby many
of the adverse health effects associated with adult obesity are now
being seen in adolescents. Of further concern is the strong
tracking of adolescent weight into adulthood which has added
consequences for long-term health. Whilst the prevention of
overweight and obesity should be at the forefront, it is evident
that effective treatment programs for already obese teens are
urgently needed to prevent them from becoming obese adults. This
book provides an overview of adolescent overweight/obesity and
possible treatment options, before reporting on the results of a
scientific trial utilising Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to
treat overweight and obese adolescents. The CBT program focussed on
sustainable lifestyle changes to diet and activity to bring about
improvements in weight status, body fat and dietary habits.
Therefore, this book would provide a useful reference for health
professionals, physical educators, researchers, academics or other
individuals with an interest in obesity.
