      abstract     = {Men are more likely than women to die due to coronavirus
                      disease 2019 (COVID-19). An open question is whether these
                      sex differences reflect men's generally poorer health and
                      lower life expectancy compared to women of similar ages or
                      if men face a unique COVID-19 disadvantage. Using
                      age-specific data on COVID-19 mortality as well as
                      cause-specific and all-cause mortality for 63 countries, we
                      compared the sex difference in COVID-19 mortality to sex
                      differences in all-cause mortality and mortality from other
                      common causes of death to determine the magnitude of the
                      excess male mortality disadvantage for COVID-19. We found
                      that sex differences in the age-standardized COVID-19
                      mortality rate were substantially larger than for the
                      age-standardized all-cause mortality rate and mortality rate
                      for most other common causes of death. The excess male
                      mortality disadvantage for COVID-19 was especially large in
                      the oldest age groups. Our findings suggest that the causal
                      pathways that link male sex to a higher mortality from a
                      SARS-CoV-2 infection may be specific to SARS-CoV-2, rather
                      than shared with the pathways responsible for the shorter
                      life expectancy among men or sex differences for other
                      common causes of death. Understanding these causal chains
                      could assist in the development of therapeutics and
                      preventive measures for COVID-19 and, possibly, other
                      coronavirus diseases.},
