About this book
The aim of this reference work is to describe, in one comprehensive resource, the complex relationships between eating disorders, diet, and nutrition. In this regard eating disorders are regarded as psychiatric conditions though there are some eating disorders that have a genetic basis. Genetic influences will also include polymorphisms. It will provide a framework to unravel the complex links between eating disorders and health-related outcomes and provide practical and useful information for diagnosis and treatment. The volume will also address macronutrients, micronutrients, pharmacology, psychology, genetics, tissue and organ damage, appetite and biochemistry, as well as the effect of eating disorders on family and community.
The material will enhance the knowledge-base of dietitians, nutritionists, psychiatrists and behavioral scientists, health care workers, physicians, educationalists, and all those involved in diagnosing and treating eating disorders.
