Obesity and its linked morbidity and mortality is a significant public health challenge on a global scale and places a burden not only on the individual but also on society as a whole. This Mini-Guide presents key themes relating to this challenge, including the means of measuring obesity, the most recent prevalence and trends, the health consequences and causes of obesity along with approaches to counter obesity both at an individual and a population level.

"The stats and overview would provide a student of occupational health with excellent data as an introduction to the topic or for a Member of the Faculty of Occupational Medicine project. The book would also be useful for anyone preparing a presentation or policy on the topic, but it is not going to meet the needs of the practitioner looking for solutions in the workplace."
