▲ U.S. research indicates that blood type affects early stroke rates. Among them, the stroke rate of people with blood type A is 16% higher than that of other blood types.
Ischemic stroke (acute stroke) refers to the stenosis or occlusion of blood vessels due to hardening of the blood vessels that transport blood to the brain. However, in recent years, there is a trend of younger stroke cases, that is, “early-onset stroke”, which occurs in young people under the age of 60.High blood pressure and family inheritance are the most common causes of stroke, and recently in the United StatesUniversity of Maryland School of MedicineSome studies have pointed out that the original “blood type” also affects the risk of stroke.

Researchin medical journals“Neurology”Published, pointing out that the chromosomal genes of people with early-onset stroke are closely related to blood type. Scientists collected a total of 48 studies from around the world, followed 17,000 stroke patients and nearly 600,000 healthy people who never had a stroke. About 35% of the participants were of non-European ancestry. Among them, people with blood type A have the highest risk of early-onset stroke, with a 16% higher chance of multiple strokes than people with other blood types. Conversely, people with blood type O, the most common type, are less at risk, with a 12 percent lower stroke rate than other blood types.
or affected by blood coagulation factors
Steven J. Kittner, a professor of neurology, speculates that the findings may be related to blood clotting factors in different blood types, because people with blood type A have also been found in the past to have a higher risk of deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities.
In addition, researcher Braxton D. Mitchell found that the association between blood type and advanced stroke was weak, and emphasized that even if blood type affects the risk of stroke, the increased risk is very small, so people with blood type A need not worry too much about early-onset stroke. .
Research is still needed to prove the prevention of more young patients
The team said that the study suggests that blood type may play an important role in early stroke, and more research is still needed to prove whether there is a direct relationship between blood type and stroke, and to further explore the prevention of stroke in order to reduce more young stroke patients. Decades and a long road to recovery.
Gayon on the same scene: Dismantling the symptoms and prevention of stroke
Dr. Sheng Bin, a member of the Hong Kong Brain Science Association, once said that the symptoms of a small stroke usually recover completely within 24 hours, and soon disappear within 1 hour after the onset of the disease. Due to the short duration of symptoms, there is a chance that the symptoms may be ignored by the patient. Citizens can judge the signs of stroke with the four-character formula “FAST”:
The British Broadcasting Corporation BBC quoted a report published by the British Nutrition Foundation, which pointed out that no matter how old you are, if you can make 5 kinds of dietary changes, it can help protect your heart and prevent the threat of heart disease and stroke. include:
