Most Blood Groups In Indonesia And Population Data

YOGYAKARTA - There are four types of blood that are generally recognized, namely A, B, AB, and O. However, in the classification there are eight types of blood that are seen from the rhesus type, namely positive and negative. So what are the most blood types in Indonesia?

The blood group that dominates the most in Indonesia is O blood type. Based on data from the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) until December 2022, there were 17.62 Indonesians classified as O blood.

Overall Indonesian citizens are dominant or most have blood type O. There are 444,361 Indonesians who have blood type O with positive rhesus or O+. A total of 348,836 Indonesians have blood type O-.

There are fewer data on the Indonesian population of A blood type, which is 8.21 million people. Of these, 711,290 people have A+ blood type. While there are 42,456 A- blood type owners.

There are 8.43 million people in Indonesia who have blood type B. There are 464,132 people with blood type B. Meanwhile, there are 30,722 people with blood type B.

For the Indonesian people, AB's blood is 3.28 million people. A total of 150,960 people have AB+ blood types and 45,019 people are classified as AB-blood.

Blood group O is a universal type of blood type. The blood type O of rhesus is negative (O-) can be donated to all types of blood. In addition, this blood type also carries a lower risk of blood clots.

Here are some interesting facts about O blood type that need to be understood:

One of the advantages of O's blood type is universal because it can be donated for various types of blood. O's blood type does not have antigens, so the risk is smaller to cause blood transfusion reactions.

This blood group can donate blood to positive rhesus blood types such as AB+, O+, B+, and A+. However, this type of blood type can only receive blood transfusions from the same type of blood type.

Blood group O has a lower risk of experiencing blood clots. This type of blood type has a lower amount of protein than other blood types.

So O's blood type is safer than the risk of blood clots. Despite having these advantages, O's blood owner still needs to be careful and maintain his health in order to avoid blood clotting problems.

Blood group O has a higher risk in women's fertility problems. Based on research from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 2011, it was stated that women classified as O blood had more levels of follicle or follicle-stimulated hormone (FSH) than other blood types.

High FSH levels are related to the number of lower egg reserves (ovum) or minimized ovarian reservoirs. This condition can trigger infertility in women. However, this does not necessarily lead to O-blood women having fertility problems.

O's blood group has higher grad matter levels compared to other types of blood. Gray matter is part of the brain that has an important role in processing information and memories in the brain. Higher levels of brain gray matter can help avoid memory skills, such as Alzheimer's and dementia.

That's the review of the most blood types in Indonesia and the percentage of people who have blood types. The majority or dominant of Indonesians are classified as O blood. Also read rare blood types in the world.
