This book offers a comprehensive review of current research and theoretical approaches​ to pediatric obesity. Pediatric obesity is a significant public health concern that requires a multifaceted approach to treatment. Key factors including ethnic, gender, and socioeconomic diversity, health equity and lifestyle behaviors all impact the prevalence of pediatric obesity, and the development of lifestyle interventions must take these into account. Written for mental health providers as well as medical providers such as doctors, nurses, dietitians, and exercise physiologists who provide care to children and adolescents, this book offers a comprehensive review of current research and theoretical approaches, as well as clear descriptions of evidence-based programs that prevent and treat pediatric obesity. With a special focus on psychological factors, including comorbid mental health disorders that are essential to treatment and prevention efforts, the authors incorporate cutting-edge research and their extensive clinical experience as they review evidence-based treatments that can be incorporated into pediatric obesity services including lifestyle interventions, medications, immersion programs, and surgical approaches.

Childhood obesity and its co-morbidities -- including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, sleep apnea, and fatty liver disease -- have seen striking increases in recent years. Despite a wealth of investigation, there is considerable controversy regarding the etiology of childhood obesity and the optimal approaches for prevention and treatment. Pediatric Obesity: Etiology, Pathogenesis, and Treatment addresses the controversy with a range of features that make it a unique resource for those who care for obese children and their families. Written from a perspective that is international in scope, the distinguished authors re-assess the roles of genetic and environmental factors in the pathogenesis of childhood obesity and critically review new studies of the effects of lifestyle, pharmacologic, and surgical interventions. The evidence-based approach of Pediatric Obesity: Etiology, Pathogenesis, and Treatment provides a comprehensive and invaluable guide for all healthcare providers concerned with the evaluation and care of children with nutritional and metabolic disease and with the societal implications of the obesity epidemic.
