In terms of demographics, around 34 percent of the Korean population are Type A and 28 percent are Type O, while 27 percent are Type B. Type AB accounts for the remaining 11 percent, according to the pollster. Scientifically, blood type differs according to the type of proteins in the blood.
Many believe people with type O blood have an extroverted personality suited to collectivistic Korean culture and few character flaws, which may have arisen from the fact that type O blood is considered the “universal donor.”
As for blood group B, it is very common in India (40%) and generally quite common in South Asian countries, such as Vietnam for example (31%).
Referred to as “warriors,” people with type O blood are often viewed as natural leaders and are sometimes natural athletes, too. Outgoing, energetic, and optimistic, Os speak their minds without reservation while maintaining a friendly and easygoing demeanor.
Well, to your surprise, blood group AB is actually the least favored in Korea. First of all, this is the rarest blood type in the world and, as you know, in many Eastern countries, social norms are always formed in a way that serves the majority.
Asian: 0.1% AB-negative, 0.4% B-negative, and 0.5% A-negative.
Approximately 45 percent of Caucasians are type O (positive or negative), but 51 percent of African-Americans and 57 percent of Hispanics are type O. Minority and diverse populations, therefore, play a critical role in meeting the constant need for blood. Types O negative and O positive are in high demand.
O+ is a strong blood group classification among African countries. Countries like Ghana, Libya, Congo and Egypt, have more individuals with O- blood types than AB+.
Blood type in Korea is not classified differently from ours, and is therefore divided into groups A, B, AB and 0. However, it is believed in Korea that blood type influences one's personality and therefore the way one behaves towards others, much like the zodiac signs.
In Aboriginal individuals we found that group O was more common than A in the 'Northern' NT, whereas there was similar distribution of the groups in 'Central Australia'. Conclusions: We found a significant difference in ABO and RhD blood groups between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal individuals in the NT (P < 0.001).
Of the eight main blood types, people with Type O have the lowest risk for heart attacks and blood clots in the legs and lungs. This may be because people with other blood types have higher levels of certain clotting factors, which are proteins that cause blood to coagulate (solidify).
China blood phenotype is dominated by O type, but the r gene frequency is obviously lower than other countries.
About 40% of the Japanese population is type A and 30% are type O, whilst only 20% are type B, with AB accounting for the remaining 10%. Four books describing the different blood groups characteristics became a huge publishing sensation, selling more than five million copies.
What are the rarest and most common blood types? In Japan, AB is the rarest blood type, while Type A is the most common one, followed by type O.
Type O positive blood is given to patients more than any other blood type, which is why it's considered the most needed blood type. 38% of the population has O positive blood, making it the most common blood type.
The gene for type O is 'recessive', because if you have one gene for O and one for A, then you still end up with A antigens on your cell membranes, and the same goes for O and B. In order to be group O, you need both parent cells to be O. But group O is still more common simply because it is the ancestral form.
Blood type A is the oldest, and existed even before the human race evolved from our ancestors.
Those with type O blood should choose high-protein foods and eat lots of meat, vegetables, fish, and fruit but limit grains, beans, and legumes. To lose weight, seafood, kelp, red meat, broccoli, spinach, and olive oil are best; wheat, corn, and dairy are to be avoided.
One of the world's rarest blood types is Rh-null. Fewer than 50 people in the world have this blood type. It's so rare that it's sometimes called “golden blood.”
Only 9% of the blood donor population has B-positive blood. Americans of Asian descent and African Americans are the most likely to have type B blood, according to the ADRP. About 25% of Asian Americans and about 20% of African Americans have a B blood type.
Why is B positive blood important? B positive is an important blood type for treating people with sickle cell disorder and thalassaemia who need regular transfusions. These conditions affect South Asian and Black communities where B positive blood is more common.
Europe tells a slightly different story, however, with the majority of its countries' populations having A positive blood. Only two countries in the World Population Review's records have a greater share of B positive blood types: Pakistan and Bangladesh.
