Study: Insufficient Vitamin D Increases Risk of Severe COVID-19

From the desk of Dr. Alexander Abkin, President, Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeons of Morris, LLC.

I recently read the article, correlating low levels of Vitamin D with increased risk of severe COVID-19.

It reaffirmed to me what we at out bariatric practice, have known for decades, – the importance of good aftercare for our patients!

I cannot emphasize enough that everyone in NJ is, pretty much, Vitamin D deficient, and therefore, at increased risk of COVID-19. In addition, Morbid Obesity, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure are very common in our patient population and, in my opinion, “sitting on the sidelines” is not an option for our patients.

So, PLEASE, read the article, call our office today at 973-410-9700 or visit us online at www.alsnj.com. We offer virtual and in-person visits, so we can keep you SAFE and healthy and lessen your risks in the future.

Alexander Abkin, MD, FACS, FASMBS.
