Question

Compared with men, women have ________ immune systems, and they are ________ susceptible to self-attacking diseases such as multiple sclerosis. stronger; less weaker; more stronger; more weaker; less

Answer 1

Compared with men, women have more weaker immune systems, and they are more susceptible to self-attacking diseases such as multiple sclerosis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hormones play a main role in susceptibility to get auto-immune diseases. For example: Both females and males produce testosterone; nevertheless, males produce much higher levels of this hormone. Testosterone suppresses B cells activating factors (BAFF); which leads to a reduction in B cells. This is translated to a lower susceptibility for males to get self-attacking diseases.

Answer 2

Correct answer: Stronger; more

"Compared with men, women have stronger immune systems, and they are more susceptible to self-attacking diseases such as multiple sclerosis."

Women are healthier, live longer and they are less inclined to infectious problems than men. However researches shows that 80% of people with autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes mellitus and others, are women.
