The fifth edition of Volume 1 of the Handbook of Obesity written by global experts covers the broad topic areas of epidemiology, etiology, and pathophysiology of obesity. Divided into 5 sections and detailed in 66 chapters, this edition covers important advances that have occurred over the past decades. With a focus on the science of obesity, factors participating in the etiology of obesity, and the metabolic and health consequences of obesity, the topics are addressed from biological, behavioural, and environmental perspectives. Volume 1 is structured into 5 parts: Part 1 focuses on the history, definitions, and prevalence of obesity. It identifies the historical references to excess weight, obesity in art and literature, direct and surrogate measurements of adiposity and obesity related traits, and the epidemiology of obesity around the globe. Discussion of age, sex, and ethnic variation completes this part of the volume. Part 2 explores the biological determinants of obesity. It emphasizes bioenergetics, energy dissipation mechanisms, exposure to experimental overfeeding, genetic and epigenetic evidence, metabolic rates, energy expenditure and energy partitioning, and the evidence on infections and adiposity. Part 3 describes the behavioral determinants of obesity. It deals with foods, beverages, ingestive behavior, smoking, breast-feeding, sleep duration and pattern, sedentary behavior, occupational work, and leisure-time physical activity and their potential involvement in the etiology of obesity. Part 4 comprises chapters on environmental, social, and cultural determinants of obesity. The role of agriculture and the food industry in the current obesity epidemic, social and economic aspects of obesity, ethnic and cultural differences, and environmental pollutants are considered. Part 5 of this volume discusses the health consequences of obesity. The chapters address topics such as heart disease, lipoprotein metabolism, insulin resistance and diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cancer, hepatic dysfunctions, pulmonary functions, arthritis and gout, mental health and quality of life, growth and health disorders in pediatric populations, and biases and discriminations affecting persons with obesity.

The chapters in this section focus on the role of agriculture and the food industry in the current obesity epidemic, social and economic aspects of obesity, and ethnic and cultural differences and environmental pollutants.Part 5 of this volume discusses the health consequences of obesity. The chapters address important topics such obesity and heart disease, lipoprotein metabolism, insulin resistance and diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cancer, hepatic biology, pulmonary functions, and arthritis and gout, mental health and quality of life, growth and health disorders in pediatric populations, and on bias and discrimination affecting the obese persons.Volume 2 of the 5th Edition of the Handbook of Obesity spotlights on clinical applications for evaluation, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of obesity. It covers on the several major developments occurred between the previous and the new edition, including the effect of SARS-CoV-2 on people with obesity, the concept of "Precision Medicine", and new medications approved by USFDA aiding patients with obesity weight loss of 15 to 20%.This volume is structured into 5 parts:Part 1 provides insights from evolution on changes in diet and physical activity, and the implications and results for preventing obesity, health care costs associated with obesity and the cost-effectiveness of obesity prevention and treatment.Part 2 deals with evaluation of overweight patients, approaches for classifying obesity and using this knowledge to evaluate patients, and addressing ethnic and racial considerations in evaluating patients with obesity.Part 3 explains the impact of lifestyle in managing obesity, which include behavioural management, diet, dietary composition, and meal timing, and the effects of physical activity and exercise in weight loss and weight loss maintenance.Part 4 is focused on medications in the management of obesity. This includes drug selection, various classes of drugs, combination of drugs affecting weight loss, effect of herbal agents on weight loss and treatment of obesity in pediatric populations, genetic diseases causing obesity and the role of drugs in treating the dyslipidemias.Part 5 discusses bariatric surgery, its history, procedure and effects in details, and other surgical techniques including electric stimulation of the vagus nerve, gastric balloons, intestinal liners and liposuction.

"Now in its third edition, The Handbook of Obesity: Epidemiology, Etiology, and Physiopathology offers comprehensive coverage of the biological, behavioural, and environmental determinants of obesity and how excess weight affects and exacerbates a range of comorbid conditions including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, pulmonary function, arthritis, and cancer. The content of this new edition reflects our evolving understanding of the causes and consequences of obesity. The text now constitutes five sections: History and Prevalence, Biological Determinants, Behavioural Determinants, Environmental, Social, and Cultural determinants, Consequences of Obesity. We now have a much better understanding of internal, biological factors associated with the development of obesity and the new edition dedicates 18 chapters to discussing the role of internal mechanisms on weight gain including chapters discussing genotype, early fetal life and events, the regulation of energy balance, the role of adipose tissue, and energy costs, among others. The role of our individual behaviours and degrees to which these, as well as larger cultural and environmental factors, influence our eating and weight issues is now also better understood thanks to increased research. These sections look at the likes of our work culture, drinking, sleep duration, and changing eating behaviours, as well as government-level food policies, changing advertising practices, economic determinants, and cultural traits relating to weight gain. Finally, we are now increasingly aware of the damage excess weight has on our bodies and the role it plays in the development of disease. The many diseases that have obesity as important risk factors are discussed in 15 chapters and include heart disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cancer, liver disease, and pulmonary function"--Provided by publisher.

Présentation de l'éditeur : "La chirurgie bariatrique est aujourd'hui une discipline incontournable en chirurgie digestive avec un nombre d'interventions annuelles supérieur à 45 000. Le nombre d'interventions a été multiplié par 3 en 10 ans. Trois techniques chirurgicales sont aujourd'hui pratiquées par les chirurgiens conformément aux recommandations de l'HAS. Ce sont ces techniques et leurs variantes qui sont détaillées dans cet ouvrage avec des critères d'orientation selon l'environnement chirurgical et médical et les caractéristiques pathologiques des patients. Pour chaque technique : l’anneau gastrique (AGA) la Sleeve gastrectomie (SG) et le by-pass gastrique (BPG) les variantes et les complications spécifiques sont abordées à l'aide de cas cliniques illustrés et commentés avec le recul nécessaire et un regard éclairé sur les complications. L'importance de l'environnement – gestion péri-opératoire – et la prise en charge pluridisciplinaire des patients sont aussi largement abordées et sont au cœur des bonnes pratiques. Un complément en ligne de 22 vidéos de techniques accompagne le livre."

Quatrième de couverture : "S'il est un qualificatif qui résumerait le mieux une histoire de la chirurgie de l'obésité, c'est celui de mouvement. Jamais en repos, elle repose même sur un principe de remise en cause permanente, depuis des débuts insolites et un premier chemin plein d'embûches et de controverses. Toutefois, bien qu'elle ait gagné en soixante ans un authentique crédit médico-scientifique, elle reste encore sujette à caution. Chaque fois qu'elle prétend toucher terre, de nouvelles interrogations se font jour, de nouveaux obstacles se dressent. Il faut embrasser ces revers de fortune et trouver, dans une forme d'équilibre instable, la source de notre espoir d'en finir simplement avec une épidémie dont les répondants sont beaucoup trop nombreux pour nos faibles mains chirurgicales."
