Abroad, when a man complains about a cold or flu, he is often nicknamed as 'men's flu' to describe their vulnerable performance when they have a cold.Recently, a new review of Canada's research shows that men suffer from respiratory diseases When the virus is flu, the symptoms are worse than those in women.
Kyle Hugh, a clinical assistant professor of family medicine at the Center for Health Sciences at Memorial University in Newfoundland, Canada, found evidence that men have weaker immune systems than females by analyzing relevant scientific literature and that men are more susceptible to infections when exposed to common viral respiratory infections These viruses, with more severe symptoms and longer duration of illness, are even more likely to be hospitalized or die from influenza than women and, in addition, women have a stronger immune response to influenza virus than men, meaning that after vaccination, women The body produces higher levels of antibodies in a report published in the latest issue of the British Medical Journal.
Kyle Hugh said: 'There are many physiological differences between men and women, the response to the flu and influenza viruses are different and normal. We believe that estrogen can play a protective role of the virus, so that women in the body more Easy to produce immune response to respiratory virus. "He said that in most cases, men do not exaggerate their flu symptoms.Future scientists may further study for different sex different flu treatment.
