Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Amanda Velazquez, MD (Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles)
Description: This is a detailed overview of the management of women with obesity that includes evidence-based guidelines and algorithms. Major thematic areas include basics of pathophysiology and environmental contributors of obesity, diagnosis and management of weight-related comorbidities, pregestational and gestational management, and finally surgical approaches and gynecological management of women with obesity.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide a comprehensive review of the management of obesity in women's healthcare. There is currently a gap in obesity knowledge due to the limited medical training in this area. Considering women with obesity will be seen in every medical practice, this topic is pertinent to all practitioners, and especially for those in obstetrics and gynecology. The author and contributors commendably provide a centralized, evidence-based book on the management of obesity in women's healthcare.
Audience: Physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners in primary care specialties would benefit most from this book. Medical students who plan to enter obstetrics and gynecology also would find this resource useful. Notably, the author is a distinguished leading expert on obesity in pregnancy and the contributors are authorities in topics related to obesity and women's healthcare.
Features: This book covers a broad range of topics. For example, chapter 16 is a concise overview of nutrition and weight gain in pregnancy, including tables with specific recommendations for calorie, vitamin, and mineral supplementation. Chapter 5 presents invaluable information on management of women with disabilities and obesity and includes a table summarizing weight management and health promotion programs studied in this population. A unique feature of this book is a chapter dedicated to complementary and alternative medicine, which is helpful to educate providers on this trendy topic. A limitation of this book is that the topics covered in each section lack cohesiveness. The omission of musculoskeletal weight-related conditions in nonpregnant women with obesity, such as chronic low back pain and knee pain, is also a drawback.
Assessment: Overall, this is a very useful overview of obesity management in women's healthcare, with a particular focus on topics in obstetrics and gynecology. This is an informative resource for any healthcare providers and related professionals in primary care and obstetrics/gynecology, as well as medical trainees planning to enter these fields. The unique chapters dedicated to the management of obesity in women with disabilities and complementary medicine are excellent additions.
