Why the Coronavirus Seems to Hit Men Harder Than Women

This week, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention published the largest analysis of coronavirus cases to date. Although men and women have been infected in roughly equal numbers, researchers found, the death rate among men was 2.8 percent, compared with 1.7 percent among women.

Women mount stronger immune responses to infection, scientists say. And in China, men smoke in much greater numbers.

Wrong, adults are more immune. Children in third world countries are more immune because of granuloma. Old people and immuno-compromised people are high risk groups.

Some 32 percent of men infected with Middle East Respiratory Syndrome died, compared with 25.8 percent of women. Young adult men also died at higher rates than female peers during the influenza epidemic of 1918.

When it comes to mounting an immune response against infections, men are the weaker sex.

Women also produce stronger immune responses after vaccinations, and have enhanced memory immune responses, which protect adults from pathogens they were exposed to as children.

“There’s something about the immune system in females that is more exuberant,” said Dr. Janine Clayton, director of the Office of Research on Women’s Health at the National Institutes of Health.
