who die first?

Published

Dear Nurses I have a question please contribute

"if a male and female attacked by a virus or bacteria who dies first?" :typing:banghead:

That question is way to vauge with way too many variables to consider. (Immune function, age, health status, poverty vs wealth, mental health, nutritional status, access to health care, etc, etc, etc...)

Hi CardiaRN2006 and other friends, yes this is 100% true, but why I put this question is to open a discussion because there is one study done in the university of Hoikens (Iam not sure the name is right or not) in Baltemor in USA stated that Men is the first to die because the immune system is the weaker among the two genders and it is quite late in defencing the body. And both immune system in the beginning of formation (newborn) is the same in both genders but in the adulthood the it change, where the women immune system is faster in growth than men.

My purpose of puting this online I wanted to open a discussion and would like to know if anyone read this study so we can improve our knowledge in someway.

Thank you all for sharing.

Johns Hopkins has done a ton of research related to gender differences in immune system function. If you post a link to the specific study you're referring to, that is probably the best way to encourage discussion on the topic.

My answer was going to be : I can't top earls answer, but, males have generally always been the weaker sex, in utero and throughout life.

That's not a put down of males, but a biological fact.

the man would die first.

because the sick man would still expect the sick woman to take care of him.

and then we would have to kill him.
