About this book

This Springer book gives an overview of obesity and the metabolic syndrome. It moves from the health risks linked to excess weight and childhood obesity to the genetic background, the methods used to evaluate patients, and the treatment options that follow.

The authors also cover behavioural strategies, and they review which approaches to preventing obesity have worked and which have failed. A central thread is body composition, and the way energy balance is maintained in the body and goes wrong.
