Find out which blood group is most vulnerable to infection with the Coronavirus
Two studies published Wednesday in the journal 'Blood Advances' indicate that people with blood type 0 may have a lower risk of developing COVID-19 infection and a lower likelihood of serious outcomes, including organic complications if they get sick, while those with A and AB are at risk. An increased risk of dangerous clinical outcomes.
As the pandemic continues, the global biomedical research community is working urgently to identify risk factors for coronavirus infection and potential treatment targets. The potential role of blood group in predicting the risks and complications of COVID-19 infection has emerged as an important scientific issue.
These new studies add evidence that there may be an association between blood type and susceptibility to COVID-19, although more research is needed to understand how this happens.
A retrospective study shows that blood type 0 may provide some protection against COVID-19 infection. The researchers compared data from the Danish health registry of more than 473,000 people tested for COVID-19 with data from a group of more than 2.2 million people in the general population. Among the positive COVID-19 cases, they found fewer people with blood type 0 and more people with blood type A, B, and AB.
The results of the new study also indicate that people with blood types A, B, or AB may be more susceptible to developing COVID-19 than people with type 0. The researchers found no significant difference in the incidence rate. Between A, B, and AB types. Because the distribution of blood groups differed between ethnic subgroups, the researchers also controlled ethnicity and confirmed that fewer people with blood type 0 tested positive for the virus.
Of course, in order to know the blood type that you have, this happens through a laboratory analysis, but without assigning yourself to go to the hospital, you can get to know your type by following the steps in these sites:
