Research indicates that Omicron affects men and women differently
4 min read
A survey conducted by the US platform Web MD showed that Fatigue strikes more strongly in women with the Omicron variant of Covid-19. The research used data from 489 participants (120 men and 369 women) who reported having the disease between December 23 and January 4 this year.
Although symptoms are very common in people with micron، Nearly a third of men said they experienced fatigue while about 40% of participants described extreme fatigue as one of the The main difficulties related to Covid-19.
In contrast, 18% of men said that Symptoms were frequent during the weeks they were infected. Among women, the proportion was 25%. The number of participants who did not report fatigue was 34% of men and 23% of women.

data UK National Health Service (NHS) It was found that loss of taste and smell, persistent cough and fever The main symptoms of Covid-19 since the beginning of the epidemic. The British Office for National Statistics (ONS) adds fatigue and headaches to the symptoms.
Fatigue has been reported by 62% of Covid-19 patients and has been indicated in studies as an early sign of the micronized variant. The symptom is severe fatigue from mental or physical exertion or disease. Therefore, the reason ends up being confused with other cases.
Muscle aches have also been linked to Covid-19. This is because the body is constantly trying to fight off the virus, which also leads to the generation of a feeling tired He follows.
The main symptoms of an omicron variable
Infection scientist Anna Helena Germoglio explains that infection caused by the coronavirus – whether by a delta or micron mutation – has very similar symptoms. “At the beginning of Covid-19, there were characteristic symptoms such as loss of smell and taste, which we did not see much with Delta, and much less now with Micron,” says the specialist.
According to her, micron is associated with milder respiratory symptoms, such as those of a cold. Body aches, headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, sneezing and sore throat are common. In addition, other unprecedented signs were observed in those with the new mutation: night sweats and a sensation of throat scratching.
