Critics Review
From the reviews:
“Pediatric metabolic syndrome (PMS) is in the process of being defined and its implications studied. This is a timely and needed addition to the literature that begins to describe this rapidly emerging entity in pediatrics. … This book is aimed at primary care providers for children and those in subspecialties who might encounter children with this problem. … This well-written book is a necessity for those in the field currently grappling with this problem. It should be considered an initial start to this process.” (Elizabeth Eames Littlejohn, Doody’s Review Service, July, 2012)
