This finger can determine the probability that you would die of dying of coronavirus
The researchers highlight the length of this figure as a key indicator of COVID-19 mortality risk.
At the moment, you know how to consider your breathing, your temperature and even your toes to determine if you could or may not be CVIV-19. But new research proves that there is another factor that you should consider not having before: the length of your ring, if you are a man. According to a report published in the journalEarly Human Developmentthere is a statistical correlation between theLength of a man's finger and his probability of dying of coronavirus. That's right,men who have a ring finger that are significantly longer than their indexes are less likely to die from Covid-19 contagion.
Go ahead, guys. Look at the length of your ring compared to your index. If your ring is longer, it's a good news for you. But why is this "ratio figure" correlated with your risk of coronavirus mortality? Well, everything is testosterone.
You have probably heard that fatality rates for coronaviruses show a sexual bias. About 60% of allDeaths related to Covid-19 have been men. And it turns out that the length of the ring fingers can be an indicator of testosterone levels. Scientists from Swansea University in Wales have studied the fingers of the ring of more than 103,000 men in 41 countries, measuring the fingers of the ring relative to the fingers of the index. They found that a longer ring finger "indicates a high prenatal testosterone / a low prenatal prenatal rate," according to the report. In other words, the length of the finger is determined by the testosterone levels in the uterus, the greater the hormones, the lower the ring.
Medical researchers determined that testosterone levels have a profound effect onFight Covid-19. It is believed that testosterone is protective against severe CVIV-19 by increasing the concentration of angiotensin conversion enzyme 2 (ACE2).
"The theory is thatSomeone with high prenatal testosterone - and a long ring-Ave larger levels of ACE2 "," Study Professor Prof.John Manning from the University of Swansea saidThe sun. "These concentrations are large enough to oppose the virus." Men at low testosterone are twice as likely to die of coronaviruses than men with higher levels, according to the new study.
That's why longer ring fingers are just one of the myriads of clues that doctors gathered about who is most vulnerable to deadly virus. And for more strange factors to consider with COVID-19, seeThe 7 strangest coronavirus symptoms you need to know.
