Testosterone deficiency and Covid Survival Rate- Low Testosterone and Risk of Severe or fatal disease
Male coronavirus patients with low testosterone MORE likely to die from COVID-19
Men with low testosterone levels that contract COVID-19 are at far greater risk of dying from the virus, a study has found.
Dr George Touliatos weighs on the studies and what we know.
A recent study found men are twice as likely to die from the coronavirus, but clinicians have been unable to determine why this is.
Low testosterone levels in men seem to be a risk factor for severe and even fatal disease outcome in men upon infection with so-called “cytokine inducing” respiratory viruses
T in comparison to estrogen may predispose men to a widespread COVID‐19 infection. Low serum levels of T, which should be supposed to characterize the hormonal milieu in seriously ill individuals, may predispose men, especially elderly men, to poor prognosis or death. Further studies are needed to confirm these pathophysiological assumptions and to promptly identify adequate therapeutic strategies.
German hospital assessed the hormone levels of 45 COVID-19 patients in ICU
Found that the vast majority of men admitted had low testosterone levels
Testosterone may be able to stop the body’s immune system from going haywire
Low levels of the sex hormone are unable to regulate the body’s immune response, leading to a ‘cytokine storm’ which can be fatal
