“…Seven percent of divorced PPDs selected "My coworkers also give blood" and their WBD counterparts chose "My religious practice or convictions have encouraged me to donate" more often (4%) than other sub-categories. Around 10% of younger (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29) and single PPDs chose "Blood donation is a tradition in my family" while a similar proportion of male PPDs chose "I feel recognition from people around me" as an important motivator. Lastly, only 3% of PPDs in their thirties (30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39) and those with a low education chose "When I see posters and advertising" as a motivator.…”

“…According to Bove et al [17], data compiled by the Australian Red Cross Blood Service reflected a higher proportion of older, retirement-aged men in the active pool of plasmapheresis donors. Higher proportions of men among platelet donors have also been noted [19,22,23]. However, a survey conducted by Veldhuizen and van Dongen [21] revealed equivalent numbers of men and women among plasma donors registered in the program for 3 years or less.…”

This study sought to compare demographics and donation motivations among plasma/platelet donors (PPDs) and whole blood donors (WBDs), in a voluntary and non-remunerated context. Motives to donate blood and demographic characteristics were collected through questionnaires completed by 795 WBDs and 473 PPDs. Comparison of WBDs and PPDs under chi-square tests showed that 17 out of 23 motivators were statistically different according to various demographic variables. These results demonstrate the existence of specific donor profiles both for WBDs and PPDs. Agencies should develop new recruitment strategies tailored to these donors, especially if they wish to convince WBDs to convert to apheresis donation.

“…In the USA, the percentages of blood groups O, A, B and AB is 45.2%, 39.7%, 10.9% and 4.1%, respectively in White non‐Hispanics, while in Hispanics, the percentages were 56.5%, 31.1%, 9.9% and 2.5%, respectively . Guo et al found that the percentages of blood groups O, A, B and AB were 34.0%, 29.0%, 27.2% and 8.8%, respectively, among 512 594 apheresis platelet blood donors from five blood centres in China. Lao et al conducted a retrospective study among 78 705 pregnant women in Hong Kong and found that the highest percentage had blood group O (41.0%), followed by B (26.4%), A (26.1%) and AB (6.5%).…”

“…Previous studies have found the prevalence of blood group O to be 38.9% in Sweden, 42.3% in Denmark, 48% in the UK, 46.6% in the USA, 34% in China and 53% in Uganda . The proportions of those with Rh‐D‐negative blood have been reported to be 17.9% in Sweden and Denmark, 2% in Uganda, 0.4%‐1% in China and 14.6% in the USA . Data regarding the distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups have been primarily obtained from blood donors; however, data on blood group distribution in the general population are lacking.…”

ABO and Rh blood groups play a vital role in blood transfusion safety and clinical practice and are thought to be linked with disease susceptibility. The results from previous studies that focused on the association between blood groups and HBV infection remain controversial. China has the world's largest burden of HBV infection. We assessed the distribution of ABO/Rh blood groups in Chinese adults and examined the association between these groups and HBV infection. We did a nationwide cross-sectional study using data from a physical check-up programme from 31 provinces examined between 2010 and 2012. ELISA was used to test for HBsAg in serologic samples. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate aOR of the association between ABO and Rh blood groups and HBV infection. Among 3 827 125 participants, the proportion of participants with blood group A was highest (30.54%), followed by O (30.37%), B (29.42%) and AB (9.66%). A total of 38 907 (1.02%) were Rh-D negative. The prevalence of HBsAg in blood groups O, A, B and AB were 6.34%, 5.55%, 5.18% and 5.06%, respectively. HBsAg prevalence was 5.65% in Rh-D-positive and 3.96% in Rh-D-negative participants. After controlling for other potential risk factors, multivariate models showed that participants with blood group O (adjusted OR = 1.22, 95% CI: 1.20-1.25) were at higher risk of HBV infection compared with group AB. Rh-D-positive participants (adjusted OR = 1.44, 95% CI: 1.37-1.52) were at higher risk of HBV infection than Rh-D-negative participants. The associations between ABO/Rh blood groups and HBV infection were similar in subgroup analysis. The proportions of O, A, B and AB blood groups were approximately 3:3:3:1, and nearly 1 in 100 people was Rh-D negative among Chinese adults. Blood group O and Rh-D positivity were both associated with increased HBV infection. The risk of HBV infection and blood safety should be taken into consideration in clinical practice, especially when transfusing those with blood group O. Awareness and prevention of HBV infection is of particular importance for individuals with blood group O.

“…ABO blood type distribution has been shown to vary substantially among populations [17,18]. Phenotypic frequencies of ABO type in two large series of hospital patients and blood donors showed a higher percentage of type A among Caucasians (38%) than Chinese (29%), but a lower percentage of type B among Caucasians (14%) than Chinese (27%) [19,20]. …”

Background The associations of laboratory-based ABO phenotypes with cancer risks and mortality have not been systematically determined. Methods The study subjects were 339,432 healthy individuals with laboratory-based blood types from a Taiwan cohort. Results Compared to blood type O, blood type A was significantly associated with an elevated risk of stomach cancer incidence (Hazard Ratio [HR], 1.38 [95% CI, 1.11–1.72]) and mortality (HR, 1.38 [95% CI, 1.02–1.86]) compared with blood type O, after adjusting for age, sex, education, smoking, alcohol drinking, physical activity, and body mass index. Non-O blood types were associated with an elevated risk of pancreatic cancer, with blood type B reaching statistical significance for incidence (HR, 1.59 [95% CI, 1.02–2.48]) and mortality (HR, 1.63 [95% CI, 1.02–2.60]). In contrast, kidney cancer risk was inversely associated with blood type AB (HR, 0.41 [95% CI, 0.18–0.93]) compared to type O. Conclusion Cancer risks vary in people with different ABO blood types, with elevated risks of stomach cancer associated with blood type A and pancreatic cancer associated with non-O blood types (A, B, and AB).
