According to news from spokesman Nazan Doğaner Halıcı, Professor Dr. Erk’s explanations are as follows:
Covid-19, which continues to spread fear throughout the world, is small and mild in children and youth. The incidence of the disease in children under 15 years of age is 10-15 percent. The mortality rate between the ages of 20-50 is 2 per thousand.
Those under 45 have an intensive care admission rate of 12 percent, despite this, the disease can be serious in young people and children.
MOST PREFERRED IN MEN
The death rate before the age of 60 in Turkey, 21.3 percent. This rate is 4 times higher than Europe and 9 times higher than the world average. Bunda; The effect of excessive obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and hypertension, heavy smoking, and nutritional disorders in young and middle-aged people is excellent.
It is believed that the severe course of the disease in youth and adults may have some genetic causes. Differences in genes that regulate the immune system, different blood groups, and changes in genes that determine the ACE-2 protein that causes the virus to enter the human cell are believed to play a role in the serious course of disease.
The disease is more common in men and is more deadly. Looking at the world average, 65-70 percent of the dead are men. In this regard, male gender and advanced age are a significant risk factor.
There are causes related to the behavior, hormones and the immune system of this disease, more frequent and serious in men.
They smoke much more than women. The disease is 10-14 times more severe in smokers. Testosterone, the male hormone, has a negative effect on the immune system, and there is one of the chromosomes that regulates the immune system in men.
Also, men wash their hands less than women, use less soap, pay less attention to their health and go to the doctor late.
WHY DO WOMEN HAVE ADVANTAGES?
Women’s immune systems are stronger, and antibody responses are higher. For this reason, cancer and infectious diseases are less common in women.
The female hormone estrogen strengthens the immune system, and women have more genes to support the immune system. Women use far less cigarettes and alcohol than men, pay more attention to their health, and are concerned about hygiene.
On the other hand, at least 30 percent of people show no signs or symptoms. Therefore, these people are highly infectious and have the ability to spread the disease for at least 15 days.
