Obesity is undoubtedly the major nutritional disorder of the
western world. It has such a major impact on mortality, morbidity
and the quality of life that it most certainly merits consideration
as a disease in its own right and should be managed as such.
Obesity and Weight Management in Primary Care covers all
the evidence on the disease of obesity which impacts both quality
of life and health. It reviews the links to long-term illness,
especially diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and dedicates much
to the current management strategies and treatment of
obesity.
This book aims to make the task of tackling obesity less daunting for both patients and the health care professionals who treat them.
