Research indicates that men and women respond differently to the flu virus. Men have a greater chance of complications. This could be due to differences in hormones and genes that affect the immune system.

However, the term 'man flu' remains controversial. Some experts believe it is a psychological factor. More research is needed to determine the causes.
