В группе пожилых людей (старше 61 года) также были установлены гендерные особенности распределения самооценки здоровья респондентами. Так, половина опрошенных мужчин оценили собственное здоровье как «хорошо», что было в три раза больше по сравнению с женщинами (53% против 18%, р<0,01). У женщин, напротив, на 17 % была больше доля тех, кто оценил собственное здоровье как «посредственное». Почти каждая пятая женщина данного возраста считает собственное здоровье «плохим», в то время как ни один мужчина не дал такой оценки. Высокие оценки здоровья («отличное» и «очень хорошо») отсутствовали как у мужчин, так и у женщин.
5-ASA preparations have very weak immunosuppressive activity. There are no reports that these drugs are associated with an increased risk of infection, and studies evaluating the safety profile of 5-ASA do not show an increased risk of serious or opportunistic infections. Treatment with 5-ASA should be continued without concern for an increased risk of infection or severe COVID-19. If the patient is in contact with a patient with COVID-19 or develops COVID-19, treatment with 5-ASA should be continued.
If a patient tests positive for SARS-CoV-2 and/or develops COVID-19, discontinuation of biologics should be considered until the patient clears the infection. JAK inhibitors (tofacitinib and others) selectively affect the intracellular JAK/STAT signaling system, which mediates the action of many cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis. Unlike genetically engineered biological drugs, inhibition
The current COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has become a global health emergency. Treatment of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (CIBD) according to the standards includes the use of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), corticosteroids, cytostatics, and biological therapy. However, these treatments can weaken the immune system, which potentially puts COPD patients at increased risk of infections and infectious diseases, including COVID-19. Therefore, patients with CVD have a greater risk of developing COVID-19 and more severe clinical course, or even death, compared to the general population.
