Lecture title: Fat and flow: elucidating the link between obesity and asthma was held on Tuesday, January 31, 2023. Lecture description: Obesity is a major risk factor for asthma, and associated with severe, difficult to control disease; people with obesity and asthma have a nearly 5-fold risk of hospitalization compared with lean people with asthma. This lecture will highlight some of the studies performed at the Vermont Lung Center that have helped elucidate reasons for the link between obesity and asthma and spearhead the development of new approaches to target this patient population.
