“…5,6,22,23 Yet another recently published study reported highest systolic pressure among the A + blood group subjects. 4 While according to yet another study there was no correlation between ABO blood groups and the tendency of developing hypertension or no major difference between systolic or diastolic blood pressure were found among any blood group subjects. 24,25 Since these results have been so very inconsistent and since distribution of ABO blood group patterns differ in different geographical regions of the world we decided to analyze distributions of ABO and Rh blood groups in hypertensive and MI adult female patients who were admitted to King Khaled hospital in Hail region of Saudi Arabia.…”

“…11 Therefore, our results are in agreement with many other studies; however they are in disagreement with some other previously published reports. [4][5][6][7]9,10,22,23,[26][27][28]30,31 As reported by us and others, there is high prevalence of diabetes in Saudi Arabia and it is associated with high economic burden on the government. [32][33][34][35] Our oral hygiene community survey of diabetic female patients showed a very high prevalence of carries, root fragments, gingivitis, severe periodontitis and the tooth loss.…”

“…Several studies have suggested an association between inheritance of ABO blood groups with hypertension and myocardial infarctions (MI); however results have not been consistent. [4][5][6][7] The current study was initiated because there is high prevalence of obesity and smoking in Saudi population, and since obesity and smoking are known major risk factors for developing hypertension and incidences of MI and since many studies have shown association between hypertension and the inheritance of ABO blood groups and MI for other global populations however results have been very inconsistent.

Background: There is high prevalence of obesity and smoking in Saudi population. Both are major risk factors for developing hypertension (HT) and MI. Associations between hypertension, MI and ABO blood groups have been shown but they are inconsistent. To date no such studies have been done in Saudi Arabia to determine association between ABO blood groups and prevalence of smoking, hypertension and MI in Saudi female patients.Methods: 432 control females were randomly selected and distribution of ABO and Rh antigens was statistically analyzed and compared with 78 smokers, 219 hypertensive and 311 MI female patients admitted to King Khalid hospital between the periods of August 2017 to May 2018.Results: Among controls 3.2% were smokers, 7.6% hypertensive and 13.2% diabetics. Among hypertensive 7.8% were smokers and 46.6% were diabetics. Likewise we also found statistically significant increase in prevalence of smoking (9.9%) and diabetes (48.2%) in MI female patients. Additionally about half of MI patients (49.8%) were hypertensive. 85.9% controls were Rh+ and 14.1% were Rh-. Rh+ subjects were significantly higher in hypertensive and MI patients also. O+ was most prevalent and AB+ was least prevalent in all groups.Conclusions: Statistically there was no difference between distributions of, B-, B+, AB-, AB+ blood groups, however there was high prevalence of A blood group in hypertensive (31.4%) and female MI patients (31.2%) as compared to A blood group among controls (24.8%). Distribution of O blood group wassignificantly lower in hypertensive (42%) and MI patients (41.5%) as compared to controls (53.1%).

“…7 Many studies have previously linked ABO and Rh blood groups with several non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and myocardial infractions. 4,5,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Although several studies have linked incidences of stroke with the inheritance of ABO blood groups also however these results have not been consistent. [20][21][22] Therefore in the current study we decided to look at relationship between the occurrence of hemorrhagic stroke and the ABO blood groups in Saudi adult male population.…”

Background: Globally stroke is leading cause of death and disability. According to WHO every year 15 million people get stroke and one third of these subjects die and about 5 million become permanently disabled. In SA smoking, diabetes, and hypertension are highly prevalent and since these factors are among ten major risk factors for stroke it puts Saudi population at higher risk of stroke. In current study we studied prevalence of hemorrhagic (HS) stroke and analyzed if there is any correlation between incidences of HS and ABO blood groups in Saudi population.Methods: Blood groups and other relevant data were collected for 2304 stroke patients registered at King Khaled hospital between 1/1/2008 to 1/6/2018. Statistical analysis was performed using Z calculator.Results: We saw 5.4-fold increase in prevalence of diabetes type 2 and 8.7 fold increase in prevalence of hypertension among HS patients as compared to control subjects. Prevalence of smoking was higher in both control and HS patients. 21.7% of stroke patients were HS patients. Distribution of A blood group was significantly higher in male HS patients. AB blood group showed statistically significant reduction in HS patients as compared to control group. Results were statistically significant at (p˂0.01). However, blood group B and O showed no significant differences between two groups.Conclusions: Results of our studies show a correlation between ABO and the incidences of hemorrhagic stroke in Saudi adult male population. Larger studies are needed to confirm these results.
