The consequences of childhood obesity are serious and far reaching,
with both physical and psychological components that add to its
complexity. Childhood Obesity: Contemporary Issues provides an
up-to-date account of the increase of obesity in children, its
causes, and its prevention. The expert editorial panel has chosen
contributors with considerable practical and research experience.
They explore why childhood obesity is so difficult to prevent and
treat. Focusing less on clinical issues and more on environmental
factors, the book brings together social, psychological,
biological, and socio-biological approaches to the experience and
problem of obesity. Delineating the scope and impact of childhood
obesity, the book provides a unique view of the obese child. It
examines the link between food intake and physical activity, which
are the immediate determinants of energy balance, and discusses how
to measure and assess them. The World Health Organization describes
obesity as one of today's most blatantly visible - yet most
neglected - public health problems. This book highlights obesity in
children and discusses the need to develop multifactorial and
multi-agency strategic plans to contain this epidemic.
