Personality and compatibility by blood type, etc. People find different points in each other according to their blood type, assessing each other, and finding fun. Of course, this does not mean that these are true or that there is scientific evidence. But did you know that different blood types can have different risk of disease? The disease more likely to occur depending on the blood type was introduced by WebMD, a US health information site.
Heart disease = less likely to have type O
Studies have shown that type O people tend to have a lower risk of coronary heart disease. The exact reason is unknown, but some experts suggest that people with blood types A, B, or AB may have higher levels of protein and cholesterol, which are related to blood clotting.
Life expectancy = high type O
For the above reasons, under similar conditions and circumstances, people with type O are more likely to live longer. Experts say that this is because type O has a relatively low risk of cardiovascular disease, which can cause problems with the heart or blood vessels.
Stomach cancer = high type A
The risk is higher with blood types A, AB, and B than with type O. In particular, people with type A are more likely to develop stomach cancer, and experts believe that this may be because H. pylori infection is more common in people with type A. Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium usually found in the stomach that can cause inflammation and ulcers.
Pancreatic Cancer = Types A, AB, B
People with types A, AB, or B are at higher risk. Types A and B molecules of red blood cells help the gut to grow a specific bacterium called Helicobacter pylori, which increases the risk of developing pancreatic cancer.
Malaria = low risk of type O
Studies have shown that people with type O blood are less likely to develop a serious condition from malaria infection than other blood types. You can get malaria when you get caught by an infected mosquito, and it is said that the cell-to-cell bonding between infected red blood cells, which occurs when the infection is severe, is not seen well in type O blood.
Stress = Type A is the highest
When you are stressed, your levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, rise. However, people with blood type A tend to have higher cortisol levels. This can make it more difficult for them to cope with stressful situations.
Venous thromboembolism = type A, B, AB
Venous thromboembolism is the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, such as a leg. Sometimes it can travel to the lungs and is dangerous. Studies have shown that people with blood types A, B, and AB have a higher risk of venous thromboembolism.
Memory problems = type AB
A small study found that people with type AB had more memory problems.
Diabetes = type A, type B
Blood types that are more prone to type 2 diabetes are types A and B. The exact cause is unknown and more research is needed.
Stroke = type AB
The risk of stroke is high in type AB. Experts speculate that this is because the risk of developing blood clots is higher with this blood type.
