This book addresses the prevalence and risks of obesity and how primary care doctors should approach evaluation and treatment for the obese patient.

George Bray is a renowned expert in the field of obesity, and has brought many of obesity's 'big players' into the book as contributors. The chapters are current, concise, and review the most relevant information in the field.
