Lesbian, gay, bisexual veterans face higher odds for prevalent ASCVD vs. straight peers
1y 6mon ago in health from www.healio.comThe hypothesis I'd explore (feel free to give me the funding!) would be that the societal pressure and stresses of being lesbian, gay, or bi in the US (let alone in the armed forces) would be the culprit.

Loss of smell during COVID linked to structural, functional brain alterations
