Abstract:
The incidence of COVID-19, both complicated and uncomplicated pneumonia, among men is 40% higher than in women and increases at the age of 35-49 years, with a subsequent decrease in the rate. Pneumonia complicates the course of COVID-19 in older persons, due to the greater burden of comorbidity. Among men, the probability of contracting COVID-19 complicated by pneumonia is 1.4 times higher than among women. At the same time, the average duration of outpatient treatment among women is significantly higher both in the group of patients with COVID-19 with complicated and uncomplicated pneumonia. The data obtained indicate the need to develop additional measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection among the male population and the middle-aged population, the incidence of the disease among which is the highest.
