Women who received hormone replacement therapy after getting Covid had a 78 percent lower overall mortality rate than women who didn't take estrogen, a study found.
from Harvard University scientists found that although men represented 49 percent of Covid cases in the U.S., they accounted for 55 percent of Covid deaths from April 2020 through May 2021.lent further support to a leading theory about the discrepancy: Estrogen may offer some protection against severe Covid.
In total, the study involved more than 5,400 women, most of whom were white and of menopausal age . The researchers controlled for socioeconomic status and pre-existing health problems. Although the relative homogeneity of the study is a limitation, she added, its conclusion still"seems to be aligned with the notion that it's estrogen specifically that's producing the protective effect."Various other hypotheses have been floated to explain the difference in Covid mortality between men and women over the last two years.
