This 2 volume set comprises of the 3rd edition of Volume 1 and the 4th edition of Volume 2, both published in 2014. In recent years, we've developed a much better grasp of the factors associated with the development of obesity. New clinical trials, discoveries related to drug use, and greater understanding of the benefits of weight loss in obese patients have expanded the field of research in this area. Reflecting our evolving understanding of causes and consequences, this two-volume set examines the history and prevalence of obesity and explores its biological, behavioral, environmental, social, and cultural determinants. It discusses the consequences of obesity, prevention, evaluation of the overweight patient, and a range of treatment options, including behavior modification, diet, exercise, medications, and surgical procedures.
