Features: Looking at the world today, obesity has become an increasingly severe global epidemic, ranking alongside AIDS, drug addiction, and alcoholism as one of the world's four major medical and social problems. The medical community also refers to coronary heart disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and cerebrovascular accidents associated with obesity as the "five deadly plagues." Due to changes in dietary structures and a lack of exercise among wealthier populations, excessive energy intake has led to a growing number of obesity cases in China each year. This book primarily introduces knowledge related to the prevention, treatment, and care of childhood obesity. It aims to help young parents make correct judgments and gain scientific understanding in various aspects, including the initial diagnosis of their child's condition, choosing the right medical facility, coordinating treatment, and providing care for the child during treatment and daily life.
