A recent Post Graduate cardiovascular study has linked people with non-O blood groups to higher risk of heart diseases and stroke. Research suggests that people with blood groups O have less protein elements that are prone to forming blood clots, as opposed to blood groups A, B and AB which behave on the contrary. Non-O blood group carriers, specifically those with an A blood group, are known to have higher cholesterol,” Stated Kole in her report. In over 700, 000 non-O blood group people who were sampled, 11,000 people had heart-related problems. This implies that given this sample, there are 2,000 more people with non-O blood group at risk of developing heart diseases.
