There needs to be broader study of how biological sex differences affect outcomes with COVID-19, researchers argue in a recent paper.<\/p>\n

Though it’s still unclear exactly why, what is clear is that men are suffering worse fates than women when it comes to COVID-19, regardless of geography or age<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A variety of data from outbreaks across the world has established this, and researchers like Johns Hopkins University biologist Sabra Klein<\/a> are trying to understand more.<\/p>\n

Last month, Klein contributed to the paper in the Journal of Critical Investigations<\/em><\/a>, which calls for study of sex differences in COVID-19 outcomes. The authors also argue that it should be a significant consideration for developing effective treatments and vaccines<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here, Klein explains what the scientific community knows so far about the different outcomes between men and women who contract COVID-19:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
