Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic?
The EASO medical and scientific community all across Europe is intensively engaged in addressing the global COVID-19 pandemic. Our clinicians are working in the front line of care daily for patients living with obesity within emergency care systems, in coordination with other clinical colleagues across 34 countries. Our scientists are hard at work developing tools and frameworks for contributing to psychological support for clinicians and patients, developing and implementing public health strategies, providing guidance and support for whole family assistance, and development and provision of advice for children and teens.
Our role in this crisis will be crucial in the dissemination of science-based information and providing common-sense, evidence-based updates, recommendations and guidance via our website and social media, that can reach millions of people. EASO is committed to sharing only the latest well evidenced information and guidance from credible sources.
People living with the chronic disease obesity are particularly vulnerable to the effects of the novel coronavirus, and appear to have a higher rate of serious complications from the virus. It is paramount that people with obesity avoid infection. We herein recommend that people with obesity shelter at home during this time, following their national guidance for vulnerable people living with chronic disease.
Infographics developed in conjunction with our scientific and patient communities focused on energy balance; mental health; family life with children and adolescents;and indoor exercise, all helpful during COVID-19, are available for download on the EASO website.
