Stroke occurs when blood circulation in the brain does not occur properly or internal bleeding occurs. In this, brain cells break down or die, leading to permanent brain damage, long-term paralysis, and death. The likelihood of having a stroke depends on many factors such as medical problems, family history, lifestyle. Blood group is also a risk factor.
A recent study conducted by the University of Maryland School of Medicine showed that people with certain blood types have a higher risk of brain stroke than other groups.
study findings
A study published in the journal Neurology found that people with blood group A have the highest risk of brain stroke. Actually, these people have a higher risk of blood clots, which is a major cause of brain stroke. Additionally, health problems such as high blood pressure and diabetes are also common in this group of people, which increase the risk of stroke.
Study was conducted on 6 lakh people
Researchers collected data from more than 6 lakh people, including people of different ages, genders and health conditions. They were then placed in different categories based on blood group and their medical history was studied. As a result, people with blood group A had a higher number of stroke cases than other groups.
expert opinion
Study experts say that people with blood group A are not certain to have a stroke, but it is more likely than others after the age of 60. People with O blood group have less risk of stroke.
Stroke prevention measures
Eat fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Do at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day. Reduce smoking and alcohol consumption. Control high blood pressure and sugar.
