People with this blood group are at higher risk of stroke, study revealed

Stroke Risk Factor: Stroke is a life-threatening medical condition. Anyone can have a stroke, but some people are at a higher risk. 

A stroke occurs when blood circulation in the brain is not proper or there is internal bleeding. In this, brain cells break down or start dying, which can lead to permanent brain damage, chronic paralysis and death. The possibility of having a stroke depends on many factors like medical problems, family history, lifestyle. Blood group is also a risk factor. 

A recent study conducted by the University of Maryland School of Medicine has revealed that people with certain blood groups are at a higher risk of brain stroke than other groups. 

Study Conclusion

This study published in the journal Neurology found that people with blood group A have the highest risk of brain stroke. In fact, these people are more likely to have blood clotting, which is a major cause of brain stroke. Apart from this, health problems like high blood pressure and diabetes are also common in people of this group, which further increases the risk of stroke.

Study done on 6 lakh people

Researchers collected data of 6 lakh people, which included people of different age, gender and health conditions. Then they were placed in different categories based on blood group and their medical history was studied. As a result, the number of stroke cases was found to be higher in people with blood group A than in other groups.

Expert opinion 

Experts of the study say that it is not certain that people with A blood group will definitely have a stroke, but they are more likely to have it after the age of 60 than others. On the other hand, people with O blood group have a lower risk of having a stroke. 

Stroke prevention measures

Eat fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Do at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day. Reduce smoking and alcohol consumption. Control high blood pressure and sugar.
