A person's blood type may be linked to their risk of having an early stroke, according to a new meta-analysis. The meta-analysis included all available data from genetic studies focusing on ischemic strokes, which are caused by a blockage of blood flow to the brain, occurring in younger adults under age 60.
Steven J. Kittner, MD, MPH and his colleagues conducted the study by performing a meta-analysis of 48 studies on genetics and ischemic stroke that included 17,000 stroke patients and nearly 600,000 healthy controls who never had experienced a stroke. They then looked across all collected chromosomes to identify genetic variants associated with a stroke and found a link between early-onset stroke—occurring before age 60—and the area of the chromosome that includes the gene that determines whether a blood type is A, AB, B, or O.
The study found that people with early stroke were more likely to have blood type A and less likely to have blood type O (the most common blood type)—compared to people with late stroke and people who never had a stroke. Both early and late stroke were also more likely to have blood type B compared to controls. After adjusting for sex and other factors, researchers found those who had blood type A had an 16 percent higher risk of having an early stroke than people with other blood types. Those who had blood type O had a 12 percent lower risk of having a stroke than people with other blood types.
The researchers emphasized that the increased risk was very modest.
Previous studies suggest that those with an A blood type have a slightly higher risk of developing blood clots in the legs known as deep vein thrombosis.

Blood type spike protein positive also has an affect.

Regards,
That's my theory anyway. ;-)
Want to take a guess as to what blood type Fetterman has?
A+ Here & I had mine 7 days before my 60th birthday back on January 1, 2017
My first one was at age 59
Third one was 7 days before I turned 65
I don’t want any more
Can’t remember my blood type
There is a slight difference in clotting. Type A clots easier and Type O less easily. Type As have more ischemic strokes, while Type O’s have more hemorrhagic strokes than average. Since there are many more ischemic strokes than hemorrhagic strokes, when you lump them together, Type A’s have more.
Blood type, not the CoupFlu vaxxes.
Got it!
Graduated in ‘73. One of our high school labs was each student pricking his/ her finger and using some type of paper to discover the blood type. This particular lab was taken our to the curriculum during the 1980 AIDS era.
We poked our fingers and typed our blood in 7th grade science class...
I wonder why they didn’t factor in any other variables - how accurate can a study be if it flails at one potential variable which has no seeming explanation?
Yeah, if your blood type is ‘Clot-Shot-Positive’, you may have a problem.

His blood type did it, right...?
In my 70’s and type A so I’m good to go.
I’m 82 A- so coasting too.
Used to sell my blood for $50 in college. Bled for drinks and dates.
Because if you need a transfusion, you need to know that. Or vice-versa.
I am A+, from high-school biology class.
So, again, I’m screwed.
