AB Positives are the lucky ones! They are considered the “Universal Recipients.” This means that they can receive blood from anyone who gives it.
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).
Life Span. Chances are higher you'll live longer if you have type O blood. Experts think your lowered risk of disease in your heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular disease) may be one reason for this.
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. There is currently a very high demand for B positive donations with the subtype Ro.
Individuals with type AB (OR = 1.37; 95% CI, 1.02–1.83), type B (OR = 1.28; 95% CI, 1.08–1.52), or Rh-positive blood groups (OR = 1.23; 95% CI, 1.00–1.50) were more likely to test positive for SARS-CoV-2.
B+ is a rare blood type that holds tremendous power. Only 8% of the population has B+ blood. B+ blood donors have two ways of targeting the power of their donation. The most preferred donation method is to donate platelets.
Stowell, MD, an associate professor of pathology at Harvard Medical School in Boston. “But these findings do not demonstrate that blood group O individuals are protected from the virus.” Depending on the variant of the virus, the risk of infection may be 25 to 50 percent higher in type A cells versus type O cells.
O+ is the most frequently occurring blood type and is found in 37 percent of the population. O- is found in six percent of the population. This blood is the second most frequently occurring blood type.
Famous people with blood type O include Queen Elizabeth II, Paul Newman, Elvis Presley, Ronald Regan, John Gotti, and Gerald Ford.
In molecular history, type A appears to be the 'oldest' blood type, in the sense that the mutations that gave rise to types O and B appear to stem from it. Geneticists call this the wild-type or ancestral allele.
O− blood, also called "universal donor," is perhaps the most valuable blood in the world because it can be transfused to nearly any blood type (except when the person has some rare antigen outside of the main ones).
Patients with type O and rhesus negative (Rh-) blood groups may have a lower risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) illness, according to a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
The most common blood type in Australia is O positive and the least common is AB negative.
Group O can donate red blood cells to anybody. It's the universal donor. Group AB can donate to other AB's but can receive from all others.
Usually, you'll have the same blood type all of your life. In rare cases, however, blood types can change. The change usually relates to unique circumstances, such as having a bone marrow transplant or getting certain types of leukemia or infections. Not all of these changes in blood type are permanent.
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.
Having a non-O blood group is associated with an increased risk of death, particularly from cardiovascular disease (such as ischemic heart disease and stroke), according to research published in open access journal BMC Medicine.
Background: Weak blood group A and B phenotypes are correlated with ABO glycosyltransferases exhibiting single-amino-acid changes and/or C-terminal modifications.
The two B blood types are relatively rare. Only 2 percent of the U.S. blood donor population is B-negative, making it the second rarest blood type. Only 9% of the blood donor population has B-positive blood.
Weight Loss
The single largest factors for weight gain in Type B's are corn, buckwheat, lentils, peanuts and sesame seeds.
B positive: 8% B negative: 2% AB positive: 2% AB negative: 1%
