A study finds men are more likely to receive bystander CPR in public, than women.
Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania took a look at nearly 20,000 out of hospital cardiac arrests. They found 45% of men got assistance in public settings compared to 39% of women.
Researchers believe the low numbers of women may be because potential rescuers worry about touching a woman's clothing or putting their hands on the sternum, which is in the middle of the chest.
Men were also more likely to survive, after getting CPR.
