Lifestyle Obesity Management By any criteria, overweight and obesity represent major health challenges to the United States and to the rest of the industrialized world. Twenty–six percent of the adult population in the United States is currently obese and 35% of the adult population is at least somewhat overweight. Moreover, the prevalence of obesity grew an astounding 40% in the last decade for which there are good data available. Perhaps even more alarmingly, the prevalence of childhood and adolescent obesity has more than doubled over the past 20 years. Obesity contributes in significant ways to coronary heart disease, diabetes, various gastrointestinal diseases, osteoarthritis and many other chronic conditions. Obesity (along with its twin epidemic of physical inactivity) in the United States represents the second leading cause of preventable mortality each year behind only cigarette smoking. Underlying causes of obesity include genetic propensity, inadequate physical activity and poor nutritional habits. A wide variety of complex behaviors contribute to the development of both childhood and adult obesity. For all of these reasons, the editors felt the time had come to assemble a monograph for physicians and other healthcare professionals summarizing current knowledge about the causes and treatments of obesity with a emphasis on lifestyle practices and habits and their contribution to the prevention and treatment of this condition. What has resulted is our book, Lifestyle Obesity Management. Some of the material in this book was originally published as a section edited by two of us (JF, WCP) of a larger textbook, Lifestyle Medicine edited by another (JMR). Additional material was drawn from other sections of this larger textbook. In addition, new chapters were written emphasizing the value of a multi–disciplinary approach to obesity treatment as well as approaches to managing obesity to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and other chronic conditions. All chapters taken from our previous work have been extensively updated and expanded to include new information in the rapidly growing field of obesity treatment. The positive response to various chapters on obesity from our previous textbook as well as the desire to make this material available to a wider audience who might not be interested in all of the topics included in the larger textbook, prompted us to gather this material in the current monograph. It is our hope and intention that this book will serve as a useful guide to all healthcare professionals representing the diverse disciplines required to effectively treat obesity. Lifestyle Obesity Management is the second in a series of books related to lifestyle issues and their impact on both short and long–term health and quality of life. Much as in the previous monograph that was published, Lifestyle Nutrition edited by Dr. Rippe and Dr. Johanna Dwyer, our intention was to provide state–of–the–art understandings of how various aspects of lifestyle practices and habits interact with health. We wish to acknowledge the excellent efforts of a variety of individuals who have contributed to Lifestyle Obesity Management. First we wish to acknowledge and thank our collaborating authors Kathleen Melanson, Tamara Neubauer Lombard, David Neubauer Lombard, Sachiko St. Jeor, Judith M. Ashley, Jon P. Schrage, Teresa K. King, Elizabeth E. Lloyd–Richardson, Matthew M. Clark, William W. Hardy, Nikhil V. Dhurandhar, Harvey J. Sugerman, Eric J. DeMaria, John M. Kellum, James B. Meigs, Scott Owens, Bernard Gutin, Risa J. Stein, and C. Keith Haddock, all of whom made superb contributions. Secondly, no textbook, even one that is relatively small such as this would be possible without the superb editorial efforts and coordination of Dr. Rippe s Editorial Director, Elizabeth Porcaro, who guides all aspects of editorial production at Rippe Lifestyle Institute. Carol Moreau, Dr. Rippe s Executive Assistant, keeps a complex lifestyle moving forward while freeing time to allow Dr. Rippe to write and edit a variety of scholarly works. Our longtime friends and colleagues at Blackwell Science have been very supportive of both this book and the entire category of lifestyle medicine. We wish to particularly acknowledge James Krosschell, Senior Vice President and Publisher, without whose support the publication of these books would not have been possible. Finally, we wish to gratefully acknowledge the multiple contributions of our families whose understanding, love and support continues to allow the generation of scholarly works and make all of our efforts worthwhile. Dr. Rippe s wife, Stephanie Hart Rippe and his four young daughters, Hart Elizabeth Rippe, Jaelin Davis Rippe, Devon Marshall Rippe and Jamie Conrad Rippe provide the loving and supportive environment enabling scholarly and other efforts. Dr. McInnis wife Susan and their three children provide love, support and encouragement and make it all worthwhile. It is our hope that Lifestyle Obesity Management will continue to advance the multidisciplinary field of obesity management. It is only through the collaboration of dedicated professionals in diverse fields that we will begin to reverse the alarming epidemic of obesity in the United States and other industrialized countries.
