Although there are countless diet and weight-loss books on the market, few of them explain in jargon-free terms the basic factors, the body processes that can lead to childhood obesity, and the research currently underway to combat this growing health risk. In Understanding Childhood Obesity , Dr. J. Clinton Smith has created a comprehensive guide covering nearly every field of obesity research. 410 0$aUnderstanding health and sickness series 606 $aBehavior therapy for children 606 $aChildren$xNutrition 606 $aObesity in children$xPrevention 606 $aObesity in children$xPsychological aspects 615 0$aBehavior therapy for children. 615 0$aChildren$xNutrition. 615 0$aObesity in children$xPrevention. 615 0$aObesity in children$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a618.92/398 676 $a618.92398 700 $aSmith$b Clint$0472198 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962935803321 996 $aUnderstanding childhood obesity$94463819 997 $aUNINA
