New data shows that men are more likely to die from coronavirus Covid-19 than women - but the reason why is so far unclear.
In Italy, men account for 53 per cent of cases but 68 per cent of deaths. In Greece, the number of cases linked to the male population is 55 per cent, while they equate to 72 per cent of deaths.
It is a similar picture in Peru, with 58 per cent of cases being male, with their deaths amounting to 72 per cent. And in Denmark, men account for 46 per cent of cases, but 64 per cent of deaths.
There is a clear gender gap, according to sex-disaggregated data complied by Global Health 50:50 project. They have based their statistics on official government sources in each country.
