Obesity: Omparative Methods of Weight ControlGeorge A. Bray Abstract: Detailed, scientific information on treatment of obesity is presented in a series of articles on methods, success rates, cost effectiveness, etiology, and physiological and psychological aspects of weight reduction. Recent advances in obesity research are documented. Studies of different treatment methods are reviewed, including fasting, protein-sparing diets, pharmacological treatments, behavior modification, physical training, self-hypnosis, and surgery. Types of obesity, causative mechanisms, and effective treatment are identified. Summaries, references, and supportive data are provided for each paper. (cj). |
