UAB Study Looks To Disrupt Obesity Triggers That Affect Black Women

UAB News One of the most pronounced health disparities in the United States may also be one of the most visible: Black women are more likely than any other segment of the population to be obese. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 38 percent of European Americans, male and female, are obese. The rate is 37 percent for African American men.

Here are Some Alternatives to Face-to-Face Holiday Celebrations

By Matt Windsor UAB News As COVID-19 cases continue to increase in Alabama, the University of Alabama at Birmingham recommends replacing traditional end-of-year, team-building receptions with creative virtual get-togethers and small, distanced gatherings. For safety, virtual meetings are preferred.
