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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Humana\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461459354\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-60327-874-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 279cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 487\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45417282568332,"sku":"9781461459354","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461459354.jpg?v=1772026422","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461459354","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
