Recently a research has been done which tells that people with which blood group are at a higher risk of stroke. If your blood group is also mentioned in the research, then you need to be careful and improve your lifestyle. According to the information, researchers say that the risk of stroke can be detected from the blood group of any person. American researchers reviewed several researches on genetics stroke and ischemic stroke (the most common type of stroke). Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot stops the supply of blood and oxygen to the brain. This is the most common type of stroke which occurs in 9 out of every 10 cases. Blood clots usually form in areas where arteries narrow over time.:
Scientists found that people with blood type A had a 16 percent higher risk of stroke before age 60 than people with all other blood types. Along with blood type, gender, weight and other factors were also responsible. In addition, people with type B blood group had a slightly higher risk of stroke, but those with blood type O had the lowest risk. The researchers said that for some blood types, this risk was modest and people should not worry about it.
According to the study, the team of Maryland University examined the health of 7 thousand stroke patients and 6 lakh people involved in different research. They found that people with O blood group were 12 percent less likely to have a stroke before the age of 60, while there was no effect on B and AB blood groups. The research also revealed that in one out of every 16 cases of stroke in people with type A blood group, their blood can be attributed to their blood. According to Dr. Steven Kitner, co-investigator of the research and professor of neurology, early stroke symptoms are being seen in people. People are more likely to die due to stroke and disability is being seen in those who survive. We still do not know why blood group A is at greater risk. According to Dr. Claire Jonas, lead of research communication and engagement at the charity Stroke Association, the new study was a good step towards understanding the genetic risk of stroke.
