内容説明

Established for more than 10 years as a leading clinical reference on obesity, this volume has now been thoroughly revised to reflect contemporary medical views on the causes and treatment of obesity and related eating disorders. 30 experts synthesize the large amount of recent research on the neural mechanisms that control food intake, the regulation of energy metabolism and body weight, and the role of genetic, environmental and cultural factors in obesity, and offer sound guidelines on all current treatment options - from diets, exercise, and behavioural therapies, to appetite - suppressant drugs, to surgery for severe obesity. The book includes a state-of-the-art discussion on effective new strategies for maintaining weight loss after treatment.
