Journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity

The International Journal of Pediatric Obesity is a new, peer-reviewed,
quarterly journal devoted to research into obesity during childhood and
adolescence. The topic is currently at the centre of intense interest in the
scientific community, and is of increasing concern to health policy-makers
and the public at large.

The aim of the International Journal of Pediatric Obesity is to rapidly
establish itself as the leading journal for high quality papers concerned
with:

* Epidemiology and population-based studies of overweight in childhood;
* Clinical management of overweight and obese children and adolescents;
* The recognition and treatment of co-morbidities linked to pediatric
obesity;
* Measurement and diagnostic issues in assessing child adiposity;
* Life cycle factors: e.g. familial, uterine and developmental aspects of
pediatric obesity;
* Nutrition security and the 'dual burden' of obesity and malnutrition;
* Community and public health measures to prevent overweight in children and
adolescents.

The International Journal of Pediatric Obesity will be available in both
print and online versions and the first issue will be published in March
2006.

The journal is owned by the International Association for the Study of
Obesity, a not-for-profit charitable body linking over 50 regional and
national associations with over 10,000 professional members in scientific,
medical and research organisations.
