It provides a comprehensive, evidence-based perspective on fat biology and its crucial role in human evolution, health, disease, and<br \/>\nsociety.<br \/>\nThe content draws upon biomedical, epidemiological, social and evolutionary research to understand the striking relationship between body fat distribution and health outcomes. Using digestible analogies, real-world examples and images, it highlights the multi-faceted relationship between adipose<br \/>\nbiology and society.\u00a0<em>Waisted<\/em>\u00a0clearly conveys the key concepts and assumptions that can lead to negative perceptions of fat, and reframes these challenges to highlight the underappreciated importance of adipose tissue in humans.<br \/>\n<em>Waisted<\/em>\u00a0is an accessible yet in-depth exploration of the subject that is suitable for both specialists and non-specialists alike. It is a highly valuable resource for clinicians, health practitioners, biomedical researchers, and students who study adipose biology, obesity, and diseases related to<br \/>\nfat dysfunction. This book also provides an interesting sociological and anthropological read for anyone who wants to gain a broader and deeper appreciation of the unique role that adipose tissue plays in human evolution and society, by considering how biological and social factors intersect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em><strong>Waisted : The Biology of Body Fat<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>FORMAT : ORIGINAL PDF \/PRINT REPLICA<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"a-list-item\"><span class=\"a-text-bold\">Publisher \u200f : \u200e\u00a0<\/span>OUP Oxford (January 6, 2022)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"a-list-item\"><span class=\"a-text-bold\">Publication date \u200f : \u200e\u00a0<\/span>January 6, 2022<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"a-list-item\"><span class=\"a-text-bold\">Language \u200f : \u200e\u00a0<\/span>English<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"a-list-item\"><span class=\"a-text-bold\">ISBN-10 \u200f : \u200e\u00a0<\/span>0198865279<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"a-list-item\"><span class=\"a-text-bold\">ISBN-13 \u200f : \u200e\u00a0<\/span>978-0198865278<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8388,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"product_cat":[157],"product_tag":[1696,1545],"class_list":["post-62729","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","product_cat-biology-laboratory-sciences-books","product_tag-laboratory-tests","product_tag-public-health"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.2","language":"ca","enabled_languages":["en","uk","ar","au","ca","de","fr","es","pt","th","it","da","ko","he"],"languages":{"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true},"uk":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"ar":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"au":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"ca":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"de":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"fr":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"es":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"pt":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"th":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"it":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"da":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"ko":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"he":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/medicalebooks.org\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/62729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/medicalebooks.org\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/medicalebooks.org\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medicalebooks.org\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62729"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medicalebooks.org\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8388"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/medicalebooks.org\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medicalebooks.org\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=62729"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medicalebooks.org\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=62729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
