“…In a study by Bener and Yousafzai (2014) in Qatar, B positive was dominant among diabetics, followed by O negative and A positive, while O positive was less dominant. Ghafar et al (2021) also reported an increased susceptibility of Bpositive individuals to all forms of diabetes in Pakistan. However, in Arar, Saudi Arabia, no relationship was established between ABO blood groups and diabetes mellitus (Alanazi et al, 2018).…”

Studies have shown that ABO blood groups and demographic traits influence susceptibility to type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and can be used in combination with insulin therapy to reduce the disease’s burden. However, geographical variations exist in the influence of demographic traits and ABO blood groups on susceptibility to diseases and thus require establishing it in every locality. This study determined the influence of demographic traits and ABO blood groups on the prevalence of T1DM in Lagos, Nigeria. A structured checklist was used to collect data from the health records of non-obese 150 type 1 diabetic patients at Ayobo Primary Health Center, Lagos. The results revealed that males, with 88 participants (52.7%), constituted the majority, while females had 62 (41.3%). The age group 40 years and older had the highest proportion of participants with 37 (24.7%), followed by 31-40 years with 32 (21.30%), 21-30 years with 30 (20%), 11-20 years with 27 (18%), and 1-10 years with 24 (16%). Christianity had the highest with 74 participants (49.3%), followed by Islam with 71 participants (47.3%), and traditional religion with 5 participants (3.3%). Eight (5.3%) of the participants were primary school graduates; 34 (22.7%) were secondary school graduates; and 108 (72%) were tertiary school graduates. The Yoruba ethnic group, with 77 participants (51.3%), was the most prevalent, followed by Igbo with 50 (33.3%), and Hausa with 3 (2.0%). ABO blood group A and B (positive and negative) individuals were the most diabetic and expressed the most severe cases, while group O positive and AB negative individuals were the least diabetic. T1DM prevention should be a priority for blood group A and B residents.

“…A much recent study from the year 2022 by Ghafar et al showed the association of ABO and Rh blood groups and diabetes in Karachi. It concluded that diabetes has some association with ABO and people with blood type B are more prone to diabetes [71].…”

et al. 2023

The aim of this review is to report studies performed in Pakistan on the prevalence of blood groups among various sections of the population and their association with human diseases. Google Scholar was searched for the last 20 years based on MESH keywords mentioned below. The inclusion criteria were the studies published in the new millennium that reported either prevalence of blood groups or their association with diseases in the Pakistani population. There were 50 studies in Pakistan which fulfill the inclusion criteria. Among them, twenty- six were from Punjab, seven were from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KpK), six from Sindh, four from Kashmir, two from Northern areas, one from Baluchistan and 4 are review articles. This review concludes that blood group B is prevalent among Pakistani population followed by O, A and AB. Studies done in Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK) and Gilgit- Baltistan reveal that B and A is prevalent in these areas respectively. AB is the least found group and Rh+ve is common among all studies. Moreover, this review also shows that blood groups act as a risk factor for many diseases. Therefore, Pakistani researchers are suggested to work on the genetic makeup of these blood groups to find out the cause of association with systemic ailments in the country.

“…However, blood groups A, AB, and Rh were not associated with type 2 DM, this study also sought to determine the relationship between the phenotypes of ABO and Rh blood groups with factors associated with DM, and it was found that blood group A is associated with increased systolic blood pressure, and blood group B was signi cantly associated with decreased total cholesterol levels [21]. Another study also showed that people of blood group B have a greater susceptibility to DM [22] and women with blood group AB have a low risk of developing gestational diabetes [23].…”

Background Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by alterations in glucose, lipid, and protein metabolism, which can be identified by detecting high blood glucose levels. In this study we evaluated the frequency of ABO/Rh blood groups in patients with diabetes treated in Luanda, during the second half of 2020. Methods This was an observational, analytical, prospective study with a quantitative approach conducted with 100 patients with diabetes. Results The mean age of patients was 48,4±14 years old. Patients males (63%) with a mean age of 47.9±14.5 years old, secondary educational level (33%), and living in urbanized areas from Luanda (33%), which were the most prevalent in this studied population. About 57% did not exercise before the disease and did not have the disease in the family (51%). About 71% of the patients used insulin to treat diabetes. ORh+ and ARh+ blood groups were the most frequent. The majority of the patients were less than 4 years with diabetes. Conclusion We concluded that the patients most affected by diabetes were the elderly, males, from urbanized areas, and with blood groups ORh+ or ARh+. Further studies assessing the relationship between ABO/Rh blood groups and diabetes among the Angolan population are needed.
