Nutrition Disorders and Body Weight

By: Smith, Kaelyn

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. As we struggle to solve hunger epidemics around the world, today we are also faced with a rising rate of obesity. While poor diet is often to blame, at least in part, for the medically significant over- or under-weight people of the world, a number of medical conditions play a role as well. This book examines nutrition and weight-related conditions, their symptoms and impact on personal health as well as treatment options and research. Obesity, thyroid conditions, diabetes, eating disorders, Cushing's syndrome and growth hormone deficiency are each given individual attention.
