Obesity linked to Severe Coronavirus Disease
This Giving Tuesday, we come together with the global community to drive support for the ASMBS Foundation and the research needed to better understand the correlations between these two diseases.
Recent studies suggest that obesity is a major risk factor for serious COVID-19 illness in patients. The link between obesity and severe illness from COVID-19 is more complicated than it might seem.
Our goal is to raise funds that will directly support critical research grants, either as a one-time donation or by becoming a member of AWARE, the Foundation's monthly recurring giving program.
If you are able to help, your donation will help uncover answers to the many questions and unknowns surrounding this new and deadly disease and why we need to tackle the obesity crisis now more than ever.
