| Sommario/riassunto: | In recent years there has been tremendous progress in the understanding of childhood obesity and in strategies for prevention and treatment. This book presents current reviews on the complex problem of obesity from the multi-level causes throughout early life and the implications of this for long-term disease risk. It reviews numerous types of strategies that have been used to address this issue from conventional clinical management to global policy strategies attempting to modify the global landscape of food, nutrition, and physical activity. Each chapter is written by a global authority in his or her respective field with a focus on reviewing the current status and recent developments. |
