Clinical Guide to Pediatric Weight Management and Obesity
Author: Sandra Gibson Hassink
This handy, practical guide provides clinicians with a comprehensive approach to the medical management of overweight children and adolescents. Coverage begins with the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and developmental aspects of child and adolescent obesity and a guide to evaluation of obese children. Subsequent chapters address respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine, metabolic, orthopaedic, gastrointestinal, renal, and neurologic complications and comorbid conditions as well as mental health issues, acute obesity-related emergencies, and obesity as part of genetic syndromes. Pathophysiology is linked to clinical presentation, evaluation, and treatment, and lifestyle issues are discussed where appropriate. Highlighted boxes and algorithms help clinicians find and digest information quickly.

Fitness Information for Teens: Health Tips about Exercise, Physical Well-Being, and Health Maintenance
Author: Lisa Bakewell
According to the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, adolescence itself is a risk factor for physical inactivity-a major contributor to obesity, one of the most serious chronic health conditions threatening the nation today. During the teen years, opportunities to participate in organized sports decrease and fewer hours are spent in physical education classes. Teens also walk less once they start driving, and activities like watching television, listening to music, playing video games, and online computing can lead to the development of a sedentary lifestyle. By increasing activity and becoming fit, however, teens can adopt habits that will help them maintain wellness throughout their adult years.
