From the reviews:
“This book brings a global focus to obesity in children and adolescents, a very important topic as the obesity problem reaches pandemic proportions. … The book has appeal for a broad audience that includes both biology and epidemiology students, as well as medical students and practitioners. … This is the first book that I have seen that focuses on obesity in children and adolescents. It is excellent and provides a great deal of value to the field.” (Linda G. Snetselaar, Doody’s Review Service, September, 2011)Editors and Affiliations
