The "Dynamic Epidemiology" of Obesity: Knowledge to Help Improve Our Ability to Manage the Condition
This paper describes an approach to developing a better understanding
of the weight-gain/weight-loss process. As is well known, the growing
epidemic of overweight/obesity (0/0) in the United States has become
an increasingly serious health and health care problem over the last 20
years. Long term, the answer is of course prevention. However, in the
meantime much work needs to be done in order to bring the epidemic
under control using treatment and management interventions, now and for
the foreseeable future. The science of epidemiology, that is the study
of the distribution of disease and negative and positive states of
health in populations, can be very helpful in this regard.
