4.9/5 (20394 ratings)

Description:How does auxology - the study of human growth and development, and of the environment in which these processes take place contribute to an understanding of obesity? What does obesity research contribute to understanding human growth and development? The so-called nutrition transition, and pressures on ever more of the world's people to be less physically active, together threaten an epidemic of overweight that is demanding the attention of human biologists and public health specialists. Following Dr Malina's introductory overview of obesity in childhood the monograph analyses the role of genetics in obesity and the effects of obesity on the normal patterns of childhood and adolescent growth. A further five chapters explore biological and behavioural aspects of obesity including regional public health concerns. The second part of Obesity, growth and development, leading naturally from the earlier chapters, deals with the clinical aspects of assessment, prevention strategies and treatment. Much of the value of this discussion of obesity focuses on bringing together current knowledge. Further interest will surely be aroused by the authors view of the natural history of obesity informing approaches to prevention.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
