The Dhaka Times Desk People with balding heads are at higher risk of contracting the coronavirus, a study has found.
This information has emerged in a study led by Professor Carlos Wambia of Brown University in the UK.
Dr. died as the first doctor (physician) infected with corona in the United States. Frank Gabrin, he was bald. According to its name, it is referred to as 'gabrine sign' by researchers.
Professor Carlos Wambier said, 'We really think that bald people are at higher risk of corona is a perfect predictor.'
Since the outbreak of the virus in Wuhan, China in December, data has shown that men are more likely to die from the virus. A report by Public Health England this week found that working men are twice as likely to die from Covid-19 in the UK as women.
Recently, scientists have pointed to factors such as lifestyle, smoking and immune system differences in the search for the cause.
But over time, experts increasingly believe that it may also be due to male hormones. Male hormones such as testosterone are believed to play a role not only in hair loss, but also in increasing the ability of the coronavirus to attack cells.
Professor Wambier said about this, 'We think that androgens or male hormones are a way for viruses to enter our cells.'
The study follows two smaller studies in Spain led by Professor Wambier. It showed that most of the men admitted to the hospital with Covid-19 had bald heads.
The study found that 79 percent of men diagnosed with Covid-19 in 3 hospitals in Madrid were bald. The study, conducted on 122 patients, was published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.
However, scientists say that this study has caused us considerable interest. However, more research is needed on this.
