The findings showed that being male proved to be an independent risk factor for a 62 per cent increased risk of COVID-19 associated death in an analysis adjusted for various factors. While most laboratory parameters were comparable between male and female patients with COVID-19, men had significantly higher inflammatory markers (IL-6, CRP, PCT, ferritin) across all phases of the disease.

"In our cohort, this effect was not explained by differences in comorbidities, age or BMI between male and female patients," "We need further studies on what exactly makes men more vulnerable to COVID-19. We do not yet know which biological or possibly social factors lead to these marked differences," the authors concluded.

Recently, the study, published in the journal Current Hypertension Reports, suggested that estrogen may lessen the severity of COVID-19 symptoms in women. As men have lower levels of estrogen, they are at a greater risk for more severe outcomes from this virus, it said.
