Blood type at high risk of stroke detected

This analysis is based on a comprehensive review of existing research, shedding light on how blood type may influence health outcomes.

Scientists at the University of Maryland (USA) have analyzed 48 studies, including more than 16,700 stroke patients and nearly 600,000 healthy people, to examine the genetic link between blood type and ischemic stroke.

Blood type plays an important role in determining stroke risk

The results showed that people with blood type A may face a 16% higher risk of having a stroke before the age of 60 than people with other blood types, according to the Times of India.

The finding suggests that genetic factors linked to blood type may predispose some people to stroke at a young age.

However, the researchers note that the increased risk of stroke in people with blood type A is small, so there is no need for additional vigilance or screening in this group.

Conversely, the results also showed that people with blood type O had a 12% lower risk of stroke at a young age.

This observation highlights the potential protective role of blood group O against ischemic stroke, especially in young adults.

These findings spur further research into the genetic determinants of stroke. Understanding the underlying mechanisms could lead to more targeted prevention and treatment strategies for those at high risk.

People with blood type A have a higher risk of having a stroke before age 60 than people with other blood types.

Researchers stressed that in addition to blood type, high blood pressure and smoking remain significant contributors to stroke risk.

People are encouraged to focus on modifiable risk factors such as maintaining a healthy lifestyle, eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly and controlling chronic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure. These lifestyle changes can significantly reduce the risk of stroke and improve overall health, according to the Times of India.
