Bald men could be at a higher risk of dying from coronavirus because male hormones help the virus attack cells, scientists have revealed.
The hormone Androgen, which causes hair loss in men, has been linked to some of the worst cases of Covid-19 in Spanish hospitals.
The discovery could be named the Gabrin Sign, after the first US physician to die of the illness in the US, Dr Frank Gabrin - a bald man.
Professor Carlos Wambier, the lead author of the key study behind the discovery from Brown University, told The Telegraph: 'We really think that baldness is a perfect predictor of severity.'
It has previously been reported that data heavily suggested men who fell ill with coronavirus were more likely to die from it that women.
In the UK a report this week from Public Health England suggested working age men were twice as likely as women to die of the virus.
