Childhood Obesity
Clear, up-to-date guidance for professionals working with children with obesity One in every six children, and more in some ethnic groups, are obese, which can lead to serious health problems in adulthood.

This book is essential reading for anyone who works with children and their families, equipping them to guide patients to appropriate and effective treatment.
