description More men died of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) than women, suggesting estrogens may protect women. However, COVID-19 deaths among men and women were inconsistent among countries throughout the world. Genetics, epigenetics, and inborn errors of immunity may account for the disparity in mortality among men and women with COVID-19 more than sex steroid hormones.
