Among SARS patients, researchers also found a significantly higher rate of death among the men.

New Chinese research has found that men may be more likely to develop a more severe case of COVID-19 and die from the disease than women, although it's still unclear why.

To do so, the team looked at 43 patients with COVID-19 who the doctors had treated themselves along with 1056 COVID-19 patients whose data was publicly available. As the COVID-19 virus is also similar to the one that caused the SARS outbreak back in 2003, the doctors also looked at data gathered from 524 SARS patients to observe any gender differences in this group.

When the researchers analyzed the data taken from the SARS patients, they also found a significantly higher rate of death among the men.
