Blood type that makes its carriers less prone to heart diseases
A groundbreaking study conducted by Dutch researchers has highlighted the influence of blood type on the likelihood of an individual developing heart and vascular diseases. By analyzing data from approximately 1.5 million people, the researchers compared blood types with the incidence of cardiovascular conditions like clots, atherosclerosis, and heart failure.
The study’s findings suggest that individuals with blood type O are less prone to heart and vascular diseases compared to those with other blood types. Notably, people with type O blood showed a 9% lower risk of heart attacks.
The research further indicated that those with blood types A, B, and AB, particularly type A, tend to have higher cholesterol levels. Moreover, these individuals had elevated levels of galectin-3 protein in their blood, which is associated with an increased risk of heart failure.
Scientists have not yet pinpointed the exact mechanisms linking blood type to heart disease, but they speculate that higher concentrations of certain proteins in the plasma of people with blood types A, B, and AB might contribute to this increased risk.
A related study published in the journal Neurology also found that individuals with type A blood are more susceptible to stroke before the age of sixty compared to those with other blood types.
