研究发现,由于生物差异,男性的流感症状可能比女性更严重。 Men may have worse flu symptoms than women due to biological differences, study finds.

一项新的研究表明,男性的流感症状可能确实比女性更严重,这为流行的“男性流感”概念提供了科学支持。 A new study suggests that men may indeed experience more severe flu symptoms than women, lending scientific support to the popular notion of "the man flu." 研究人员发现,与女性相比,受流感病毒感染的雄性小鼠的免疫反应较强,组织损伤较重,可能是由于激素和遗传差异所致。 Researchers found that male mice infected with the flu virus showed stronger immune responses and greater tissue damage compared to females, potentially due to hormonal and genetic differences. 虽然研究结果以动物模型为基础,但它们表明,生物因素可能促使男性在生病期间报告更严重的症状。 While the findings are based on animal models, they indicate biological factors could contribute to men reporting more intense symptoms during illness.
