The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has rapidly created widespread impacts on global health and the economy. Data suggest that women are less susceptible to severe illness. However, sex-disaggregated data are incomplete, leaving room for misinterpretation, and focusing only on biologic sex underestimates the gendered impact of the pandemic on women. This narrative review summarizes what is known about gender disparities during the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic, domestic, and health burdens along with overlapping vulnerabilities related to the pandemic. In addition, this review outlines recommended strategies that advocacy groups, community leaders, and policymakers should implement to mitigate the widening gender disparities related to COVID-19.
2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行迅速对全球健康和经济造成广泛影响。有数据表明,女性不易患重病。然而,按性别分类的数据并不完整,容易产生误解,而且仅关注生物性别会低估大流行对女性的性别影响。本综述总结了在 COVID-19 大流行期间已知的性别差异,以及与大流行相关的经济、家庭和健康负担以及重叠的脆弱性。此外,本综述还概述了倡导团体、社区领导人和政策制定者应实施的建议性策略,以减轻与 COVID-19 相关的日益扩大的性别差异。
