Based upon recorded accounts, the mortality rate among victims was highest in males aged 30–40 years.<ref name="Thwaites 1997" /> The fact that it infected all levels of society, from rich to poor, earned the sweating sickness various nicknames, such as "Stoop Gallant" or "Stoop Knave" — referencing how the 'proud' castes were forced to 'stoop' and face their own humanity.<ref name="Wylie 1981" /><ref name="Heyman 2014b"/>
