The COVID-19 pandemic has raised many questions around why the SARS-CoV-2 virus, COVID-19 infections, and the global job and economic crisis have impacted men and women differently.
A consistent pattern has emerged of higher death rates among men compared to women infected with COVID-19. Data shows that men are roughly twice as likely to die from a COVID-19-related illness than women are. Simultaneously, more women with COVID-19 are likely to get diagnosed early since in most countries, women account for the majority of health care workforce.
In a study published in the journal Nature on 26 August, scientists report that a neutralising immune response against COVID-19 was stronger in women, irrespective of age. The immune system workings that are detailed in the study are an "important basis for the development of a sex-based approach to the treatment and care of men and women with COVID-19," the authors say.
