Childhood obesity is one of the most serious problems facing the
developed world. It is damaging to the medical and psychological
well-being of the child and casts a shadow on their future health,
leading to serious illness and ultimately premature death.
Management of Childhood Obesity provides practical, realistic and
easily implemented advice on sensitive approaches to children and
their families in a very accessible form for all practitioners
involved in the care of overweight children. Changes to diet and
activity are reviewed in detail but also with the whole spectrum of
eating within the family and community, including sedentariness and
the significance of sleep in preventing overweight.
