Researchers have found that nearly 60 percent of the Hispanic population has Type O blood, which is most frequently requested by hospitals to treat a range of patients from trauma victims to premature babies.
Latin American: 53% O-positive, 29% A-positive, and 9% B-positive.
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.
Certain blood types are unique to specific racial and ethnic groups. Therefore, it is essential that donor diversity match patient diversity. For example, U-negative and Duffy-negative blood types are unique to the African American community.
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).
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).
Researchers have found that nearly 60 percent of the Hispanic population has Type O blood, which is most frequently requested by hospitals to treat a range of patients from trauma victims to premature babies.
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.
The most common blood type in Australia is O positive and the least common is AB negative. The table below lists each of the blood types, including how common they are across the Australian population. This is the most common blood type. O- can be safely given to any patient, regardless of their blood type.
Irish Blood Group Type Frequency Distribution
Blood group O Positive is the most common group in Ireland while AB negative is the least common.
Based on the primary races hypothesis, it was thought that in the three major races of man, blood groups A in Europe, B in Asian, and finally O in South America have been emerged and gradually due to the migration and mixing of the races, became the present situation.
China blood phenotype is dominated by O type, but the r gene frequency is obviously lower than other countries.
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.
Blood type A is the oldest, and existed even before the human race evolved from our ancestors.
Genetic studies have revealed that Aboriginal Australians largely descended from an Eastern Eurasian population wave, and are most closely related to other Oceanians, such as Melanesians.
As the most common blood type in New Zealand, more O Positive blood donations are needed more than any other type.
Taken together, the authors concluded that type O and Rh-negative blood groups may be protective against SARS-CoV-2 infection and illness.
Dana Devine, shows that people with blood groups A or AB are more likely to have a severe COVID infection than people with blood groups B or O. The study looked at 95 patients critically ill with the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the intensive care units (ICUs) of two major Vancouver hospitals.
Type O negative red blood cells are considered the safest to give to anyone in a life-threatening emergency or when there's a limited supply of the exact matching blood type. That's because type O negative blood cells don't have antibodies to A, B or Rh antigens.
Brothers and sisters don't always share the same blood type. The genotype of both parents plays a role in defining the blood type. For instance, children of parents with the genotypes AO and BO may have the blood types A, B, AB, or O. Thus, siblings do not necessarily have the same blood type.
Currently, no scientific evidence supports a cause-and-effect relationship between a person's blood type and personality traits.
A baby may have the blood type and Rh factor of either parent, or a combination of both parents. Rh factors follow a common pattern of genetic inheritance. The Rh-positive gene is dominant (stronger) and even when paired with an Rh-negative gene, the positive gene takes over.
