Men with COVID-19 three times more likely to need intensive care: study

Researchers analyzed over three million confirmed coronavirus cases from 46 countries and 44 states in the US between January 1 and June 1, 2020.

They found that the risk of SARS-Cov-2 infection was the same for women and men, as "exactly half" of the confirmed cases were male patients.

But men are almost three times more likely than women to be hospitalized in an intensive care unit and are 39 percent more likely to die from the virus, the study said.

This is a large scale study that confirmed the results of sporadic, small studies in late spring.

3. Testosterone seems to be a factor. In France, Covid is referred to as "bald man's" disease.

Because about 80% of hospitalized patients are bald men.

Male pattern baldness is caused by high testosterone.
