La prevalencia de COVID-19 por sexo difiere entre países. España muestra un patrón desigual: inicialmente más frecuente en los hombres, las mujeres los superaron a partir del 31 de marzo, tras 2 semanas de confinamiento, con contagios más frecuentes en las mujeres en contacto con casos de COVID-19. Concordando con los fallecimientos, los hombres son hospitalizados con mayor frecuencia. Las diferencias significativas por sexo en signos/síntomas pueden conducir a este patrón, observado también en otras enfermedades. A finales de abril, el exceso de mortalidad es el mismo en las mujeres (67%) que en los hombres (66%). No obstante, la falta de información exhaustiva sobre las muertes por COVID-19 en no hospitalizados/as puede contribuir a la menor notificación de fallecimientos en las mujeres. La invisibilidad de los datos por sexo y de género probablemente está afectando de manera negativa más a las mujeres que a los hombres.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract Reports on COVID-19 from the Spanish Health Ministry are valuable, but incomplete, with the perverse effect that the susceptibility to COVID-19 by sex is unclear. Prevalence of COVID-19 by sexes differs between countries. The trend in Spain shows an unequal pattern, initially more frequent in men, but women outnumbered them from March 31, after two weeks lockdown. Infections are more frequent in women than in men in close contact with probable/confirmed COVID-19 cases. Consistent with deaths in men, they are hospitalized more frequently than women: Significant gender differences in signs/symptoms can drive this pattern, already observed in other pathologies. In late April, excess mortality is the same in women (67%) than in men (66%). But, lack of exhaustive information on deaths from COVID-19 in non-hospitalized patients may contribute to lower notification of deaths in women. Invisibility of data by sex and gender is probably affecting negatively women with COVID -19 more than men.]]></p></abstract>
