REASONS WHY MEN ARE MORE LIKELY OF CONTRACTING CORONAVIRUS THAN WOMEN
It’s been proven that men are more likely to contract and die from severe Covid-19 than women, all over the world.
A preprint study claims that oestrogen could be protecting women from the virus.
A comparison between pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women indicates that low oestrogen makes women a bigger target for the study.
One of the strangest phenomena of Covid-19 is that men have been proven to be at higher risk of severe Covid-19 than women – and the answer might lie in female hormones.
It is known that oestrogen, the female sex hormone, allows for stronger immune responses to viral infections, including coronaviruses.
