Consequently, the extraordinary number of school-age children now being diagnosed with what were once considered adult-onset disorders – hypertension, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and related cardio-pulmonary conditions – has catapulted pediatric obesity to the forefront of national attention. Yet even as recognition grows, reliable, scientifically tested information and methods often get lost in the media crush of quick fixes and hyped-up news stories. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, in one comprehensive, easy-to-access volume, the \u003cem\u003eHandbook of Childhood and Adolescent Obesity\u003c\/em\u003e reveals the scope of the problem in terms of its psychological burden, its health consequences, and the available prevention and treatment options with the most current empirical and clinical knowledge available.
