A study found that those with blood type A had a higher risk of stroke before the age of 60.
The different substances that our red blood cells’ surface is made of are reflected in our blood types.
A and B, which together form the blood type AB, are the most well-known blood types. They are designated as A or B separately; if either is absent, the blood is designated as type O.

Due to gene mutations there are minor differences even among these major blood types.
A definitive correlation between the A1 subgroup gene and the early risks of stroke was found by genomics researchers in a study published in 2022.
The most recent study that was written up in the journal Neurology combined information from 48 genetic studies. Approximately 17,000 stroke victims and nearly 600,000 healthy participants, all ages of 18 and 59, participated in the study.
Two loci one containing the genes that determine blood type, were found to be substantially related to early stroke risks through genomic study.
Individuals whose genomes were coded with the A group variant had a 16% higher likelihood of having a stroke before the age of 60 than those with other blood types according to a subsequent study of specific blood type genes.
Individuals who carried the O1 gene exhibited a 12% reduced risk of stroke.
