Autrices : Clare Wenham, Julia Smith, Rosemary Morgan, on behalf of the Gender and COVID-19 Working Group Revue : The LancetThe Lancet began as an independent, international weekly  general medical journal founded in 1823 by Thomas Wakley. Since its  first issue (October 5, 1823), the journal has strived to make science  widely available so that medicine can serve, and transform society, and  positively impact the lives of people. Over the past two centuries, The Lancet has sought to  address urgent topics in our society, initiate debate, put science into  context, and influence decision makers around the world. The Lancet has evolved as a family of journals (across  Child &#38; Adolescent Health, Diabetes &#38; Endocrinology, Digital Health, Gastroenterology &#38; Hepatology, Global Health, Haematology, HIV, Infectious Diseases, Neurology, Oncology, Planetary Health, Psychiatry, Public Health, Respiratory Medicine, Biomedicine, Clinical  Medicine), but retains at its core the belief that medicine must serve society, that knowledge must transform society, that the best science must lead to better lives).

Policies and public health efforts have not addressed the gendered impacts of disease outbreaks. The response to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) appears no different. We are not  aware of any gender analysis of the outbreak by  global health institutions or governments in affected countries or in  preparedness  phases. Recognising the extent to which disease outbreaks affect women and men differently is a fundamental step to understanding the primary  and secondary effects of a health emergency on different  individuals  and communities, and for creating effective, equitable  policies and  interventions. Although  sex-disaggregated data for COVID-19 show equal  numbers of cases between  men and women so far, there seem to be sex  differences in mortality and  vulnerability to the disease. Emerging  evidence suggests that more men than women are dying, potentially due to  sex-based immunological or gendered differences, such as patterns and  prevalence of smoking.  However, current sex-disaggregated data are  incomplete, cautioning  against early assumptions. Simultaneously, data  from the State Council  Information Office in China suggest that more  than 90% of health-care  workers in Hubei province are women,  emphasising the gendered nature of  the health workforce and the risk  that predominantly female health  workers incur.Lire la suite : The LancetURL PDF : https://www.thelancet.com/action/showPdf?pii=S0140-6736%2820%2930526-2
