Gender- and age-related differences in misuse of face masks in COVID-19 prevention in central European cities	2020-11-13		.txt	text/plain	2207	141	61	We tried to provide information about differences in the distribution of gender and age groups wearing face masks incorrectly. Design Pilot field study Methods Visual observation of mask use in public, not ageand gender-related places in central European large cities regarding incorrect mask-wearing (n=523); statistical analysis (nominal scale) in terms of gender and estimated age group using the total numbers, binomial test and chi-square test. Results There is no significant difference (binomial test: p-value = 0.43) in mask misuse between the genders (female: 271 (51.8%), male: 252 (48.2%) and 0 non-binary individuals (0%)). The prevalence of masking after the post-lockdown reopening of businesses has currently been examined in other studies [6, 7] , and significant differences in regional, age and gender groups have been found. Our pilot-study shows a significant, gender-independent difference between age groups in the correct use of face masks in public.	./cache/cord-321847-4a6eb4mr.txt	./txt/cord-321847-4a6eb4mr.txt
