Your chances of developing heart disease or blood clots are greater if you are part of the A, B, or AB blood type groups. According to a study published in the American Heart Association journal, it was found that people in the A or B blood type groups had a combined 8% greater heart attack risk and 10% greater heart failure risk. It was also found that individuals within these groups had a 51% greater chance of developing deep vein thrombosis. They also had a 47% higher risk of developing pulmonary embolisms.
Memory Issues
One study found that individuals in the AB blood type group could be more susceptible to developing problems with their memory in their later years. The AB blood type group only makes up around 4% of the American population, making it the least common blood type in the country. According to the study, AB blood type individuals were 82% more likely to develop memory and cognitive issues linked to dementia than any other blood type.
