Abstract

Sex differences in coronavirus disease severity and mortality exist with the male sex being a potential risk factor. This study will examine sex-differences in metabolism and disease severity in patients with coronavirus disease. Findings will be validated in larger sample cohorts at Yale and other sites. The study will also investigate the study findings in vivo to improve clinical outcomes for all patients with SARS-CoV-2.
