The phenotype of human obesity: the scope of the problem.

Nestle Nutrition workshop series. Paediatric programme - 1 Jan 2008

Bier Dennis M

Abstract excerpt

The prevention and treatment of childhood obesity have proven to be extremely difficult problems. Since the equation for maintaining energy balance is an extremely simple one, having only two terms, 'energy in' and 'energy out', the difficulties encountered in its application for obesity management are not immediately obvious. Among the problems that make practical application of the energy balance equation more...
