Digit ratios and their asymmetries as risk factors of developmental instability and hospitalization for COVID-19

aledopress

COVID-19 presents with mild symptoms in the majority of patients but in a minority it progresses to acute illness and hospitalization. Here we consider whether markers for prenatal sex hormones and postnatal stressors on developmental instability, i.e. digit ratios and their directional and unsigned asymmetries, are predictive of hospitalization. We focus on six ratios: 2D:3D;… Continue reading Digit ratios and their asymmetries as risk factors of developmental instability and hospitalization for COVID-19
