Men’s outcomes worse with COVID-19 than women’s: study
Regardless of health status, men become sicker, despite being younger and having less risk factors
Men appear more likely than women to experience severe outcomes from COVID-19 regardless of whether they have underlying health conditions, according to a US study.
Researchers in New York City who tracked roughly 5,000 patients of both sexes who were diagnosed in early 2020 found that men were sicker when first diagnosed and had a higher need for intensive care treatment and higher rates of death than women.
