In the UK population, O is the most common blood group (48%). Around 7% of the population have O -ve blood, yet this special group accounts for around 13% of all hospital requests.
The most common blood group for people living in the UK (44%) is the O group blood, followed by the A blood group (42%). This means these blood groups are the most commonly requested by hospitals for patients in need. The least common blood groups are B (10%) and AB (4%) blood groups.
Blood group O is the most common blood group. Almost half of the UK population (around 48%) has blood group O. Receiving blood from the wrong ABO group can be life-threatening. For example, if someone with group B blood is given group A blood, their anti-A antibodies will attack the group A cells.
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.
People with blood type O are said to be "universal donors" because their blood is compatible with all ABO blood types. It is also the most common blood type in populations around the world, including the USA (1) and Western Europe (2, 3).
African American: 47% O-positive, 24% A-positive, and 18% B-positive. Latin American: 53% O-positive, 29% A-positive, and 9% B-positive. Asian: 39% O-positive, 27% A-positive, and 25% B-positive. Caucasian: 37% O-positive, 33% A-positive, and 9% B-positive.
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.
The most common blood types differ somewhat between Poland and Ireland. Here, 47% of people are O+, whereas in Poland 31% of the population are O+. The combined percentage of people in Ireland who are A+ and B+ is 35%; in Poland, it's 47%.
China blood phenotype is dominated by O type, but the r gene frequency is obviously lower than other countries.
More than two million people in Scotland have type O+ blood, making it the most common blood type in Scotland. This means that although there will always be more potential O+ donors, there will also be more O+ patients. More than a quarter of Scotland's population have type A+ blood.
Famous Type O personalities: Queen Elizabeth II, John Lennon or Paul Newman.
Blood group reference distribution for the German population is given as: 0: 41%; A: 43%; B: 11%; AB: 5%; Rhesus positive: 85%; Rhesus negative: 15%.
Globally, the most common blood type is O, but the most common blood type of Europeans is A.
O-negative blood type is most common in the U.S. among Caucasian adults, at around eight percent of the Caucasian population, while only around one percent of the Asian population has O-negative blood type.
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).
Which blood group is most common? The most common blood group in India is O.
In Japan, AB is the rarest blood type, while Type A is the most common one, followed by type O.
Blood type A is the oldest, and existed even before the human race evolved from our ancestors.
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.
The distribution varies worldwide. In Switzerland, blood group A is the most common (at around 45%), followed by blood group 0 (41%). The rarest blood groups are B (around 9%) and AB (around 5%).
Types B and AB were not at increased risk of COVID-19 infection. In terms of mortality, blood type A patients were at increased risk of death (OR = 1.48; 95% CI, 1.11–1.97) and type O patients had a decreased risk of death (OR = 0.66; 95% CI, 0.48–0.91) (P = .
About 9% of the population have B positive blood. B positive red blood cells can be given to both B positive and AB positive patients. B positive patients can receive blood from B positive, B negative, O positive and O negative donors.
Weight Loss
The single largest factors for weight gain in Type B's are corn, buckwheat, lentils, peanuts and sesame seeds. Each of these foods contain a lectin which will interfere with your insulin levels, leading to fatigue and possibly hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar levels).
