Secure TransactionBook Description
Now in an updated second edition including the latest references and evidence, this comprehensive reference work presents an up-to-date survey of the current scientific understanding of the metabolic syndrome, as well as an overview of the most significant changes to the field over the past 30 years.
Taking a truly global approach, the opening section reviews the obesity epidemic worldwide, from the Americas to Africa and Asia, with local experts sharing real-world considerations. Genetic and environmental factors contributing to metabolic syndrome are covered in parts two and three respectively, and the subsequent section on pathophysiology takes an in-depth look at metabolic principles, brain regulation of appetite, adipose structure, the gut microbiome, and much more. Part five discusses disease associated with obesity, from type 2 diabetes and cardiac disease to dyslipidemia and NAFLD. A final section on the current prevention and treatment strategies, including diet, exercise, pharmacotherapy and bariatric surgery, completes the presentation.
Edited by one of the leading authorities on obesity, this volume is a thorough reference for obesity and the metabolic syndrome and will prove an indispensable resource for clinicians and researchers at levels worldwide.
