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).
Blood type A is the oldest, and existed even before the human race evolved from our ancestors.

The authors found that individuals with type O blood were less likely to contract SARS-CoV-2 compared with non–type O blood groups (ARR = 0.88; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.84–0.92).
Theoretically yes, but it would be extremely rare. Two O parents will get an O child nearly all of the time. But as with anything in biology, there are occasional exceptions to this rule.
Types O negative and O positive are in high demand. Only 7% of the population are O negative. However, the need for O negative blood is the highest because it is used most often during emergencies. The need for O+ is high because it is the most frequently occurring blood type (37% of the population).

In a 2016 article for the Telegraph, Gordon Rayner explains that “In countries where a reliable blood supply is questionable, the Queen and the Prince of Wales both travel with their own personal packs of blood following in their convoy wherever they go.”
Medicine describes Victoria as a female carrier who introduced hemophilia into her family as the result of a gene mutation. Victoria herself asserted that she knew of no hemophilia in her family.
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.
The blood type B was statistically more frequent among the centenarians than in the control subjects (29.4% vs 21.9%; P = . 04). From these findings, the authors concluded that blood group B might be associated with exceptional longevity.
