YOGYAKARTA Blood groups are being studied based on genetic studies on ischemic stroke. Stroke caused by blockage of blood flow to the brain, which occurs in adults under 60 years of age. A professor of neurology, Steven J. Kittnet, MD., MPH., said that the number of people with initial strokes increased. Research to reduce this risk was finally done.
The neurology professor of the University of Maryland Faculty of Medicine in Baltimore added that stroke can be life-threatening, survivors have the potential to face decades of disability. Even so, it turns out that there are very few studies about the cause of stroke.
According to the Journal of Stroke published in 2020, it notes an estimate of 10-15 percent of stroke occurring in people under 50 years old. To explore how genetic factors can affect the risk of stroke, the researchers reported by Everyday Health, Thursday, September 8, analyzed 48 studies on genetics and ischemic stroke. The study covered 16,700 stroke patients and 599,237 healthy control patients who had never had a stroke.
The study found a link between early stroke, or stroke that occurred before the age of 60, and a welcome area that includes a gene that determines whether blood type A, AB, B, and O. The study found that early strokes were more likely to have blood type A and less likely to have blood type O. The risk factor for stroke in blood type A, 16 percent is higher early stroke than people with other blood types. While O blood types are at risk of 12 percent lower stroke than other blood types.
Brandon Giglio, MD., director of the vascular neurology at NYU Langone Hospital, Brooklyn, NY, explained about the previous study. That there is research that shows the relationship between blood type and freezing disorders, such as deep vetanetics and pulmonalis arteries. This 2020 study noted that those classified as blood A or B are more likely to develop 51 percent deep-thrombosis and 47 percent pulmonical arteries.
Although the types of clots of arteries and blood vessels have different mechanisms and processes that cause stroke. But these findings may link the relationship between the patient's blood type and the way their bodies promote the formation of clots.
The researchers emphasize that the increased risk is very simple and that people with blood type A don't have to worry about having an early stroke. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) recommends on a healthy diet that is low in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and maintain a healthy body weight.
This research, according to Giglio, needs to be done further. The hope is that it recommends anticipation, including avoiding the risk of other diseases, such as diabetes, which are related to blood types.
