research Sex Hormones in COVID-19 Severity: The Quest for Evidence and Influence Mechanisms
Sex hormones may affect COVID-19 severity and outcomes.
research Hair Loss and Androgen's Role in the Era of COVID-19
Androgens may worsen COVID-19 and hair loss could indicate the disease's severity.
research Use of Antiandrogens as Therapeutic Agents in COVID-19 Patients
Antiandrogens might help prevent or treat COVID-19 by blocking the virus's entry into cells.
research Androgenetic Alopecia as a Complication of SARS-CoV-2 Infection
People with androgenetic alopecia may have a higher risk of severe COVID-19.
research The Role of Testosterone in SARS-CoV-2 Infection
Low testosterone levels may lead to more severe COVID-19 outcomes.
research Impact of Androgen Status and Anti-Androgen Therapy on the Course of COVID-19 in Men
Men with higher androgen levels may have severe COVID-19 symptoms, but those on antiandrogen therapy are less likely to contract the virus and have milder symptoms. Anti-androgen drugs could potentially treat COVID-19, but more research is needed.
research SARS-CoV-2 and Androgenic Alopecia: Exploring Links
Possible link between COVID-19 and hair loss; more research needed.
research Host Genetic Susceptibility and Impacts of Dietary Factors on COVID-19
Certain genes and nutrients like vitamin D, zinc, and omega fatty acids affect COVID-19 severity and infection risk.
research The Impact of Certain Genetic Variants (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) on Incidence and Severity of COVID-19
Certain genetic differences may affect how likely someone is to get COVID-19 and how severe it might be.
research Late Unexpected Consequences of COVID-19 Infection in Survivors of Acute Hypoxic Respiratory Failure
After severe COVID-19, 71% of patients experienced excessive hair shedding and thinning within 3 months due to factors like low oxygen levels, medication, stress, and autoimmune disease.
research COVID-19 and Sex Differences: Mechanisms and Biomarkers
Men are more likely to have severe COVID-19 cases and fatalities than women due to factors like lifestyle, aging, and biological differences.
research A Preliminary Observation: Male Pattern Hair Loss Among Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients in Spain – A Potential Clue to the Role of Androgens in COVID-19 Severity
Male pattern hair loss could hint at androgens affecting COVID-19 severity.
research Sex Differences in SARS-CoV-2 Infection Rates and the Potential Link to Prostate Cancer
Men, especially older ones with health issues like prostate cancer, may have worse COVID-19 outcomes and could benefit from therapies targeting male hormones.
research Anti-Androgens May Protect Against Severe COVID-19 Outcomes: Results From a Prospective Cohort Study of 77 Hospitalized Men
Anti-androgens, like finasteride, dutasteride, and spironolactone, may lessen the severity of COVID-19 in men, leading to fewer ICU admissions.
research What Does Androgenetic Alopecia Have to Do with COVID-19? An Insight into a Potential New Therapy
Androgenetic alopecia linked to COVID-19 severity; drugs reducing androgen receptor activation may help.

research Androgenetic Alopecia in COVID-19: Comparison to Age-Matched Epidemiologic Studies and Hospital Outcomes With or Without the Gabrin Sign
AGA linked to worse COVID-19 outcomes in men.
research Alopecia and Grey Hair Are Associated with COVID-19 Severity
Having a lot of gray hair and hair loss are linked to more severe COVID-19.
research Androgen Receptor Genetic Variant Predicts COVID-19 Disease Severity: A Prospective Longitudinal Study of Hospitalized COVID-19 Male Patients
A certain genetic variant in the androgen receptor may predict the severity of COVID-19 in men.
research Is COVID-19 a Risk Factor for Progression of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Exacerbation of Its Related Symptoms?: A Systematic Review
COVID-19 might worsen symptoms and progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia, possibly due to inflammation and metabolic disturbances in the prostate gland. More research is needed to confirm this.
research COVID-19 and Hypopituitarism
COVID-19 and hypopituitarism (reduced pituitary gland function) are linked, with the latter's related health issues potentially worsening COVID-19 outcomes, and COVID-19 possibly increasing risk for pituitary complications.
research Prevalence of Telogen Effluvium Hair Loss in COVID-19 Patients and Its Relationship with Disease Severity
COVID-19 patients may experience hair loss, but it's not linked to their age or sex.
