“…Further studies confirmed the protective effect of O group and showed that the A1 allele (which is responsible for an increased glycosyltransferase activity) confers a greater risk of pancreatic cancer than the A2 allele [38]. As regards gastric cancer, the higher prevalence of blood group A in patients with carcinoma of the stomach historically observed by several studies [36] has been recently confirmed in a large prospective population-based study involving more than one million of Scandinavian blood donors, who were followed for up to 35 years (OR 1.20; 95% CI: 1.02-1.42) [39]. A similar finding emerged also in the recently published Golestan Cohort Study, which analyzed the association between the ABO blood groups, overall and cause-specific mortality in over 50,000 people recruited between the 2004 and 2008 [40].…”

“…Another area that has been extensively studied over the last five decades is that of the association between the ABO blood group types and cancer, with and the most consistent relationship being observed for pancreatic and gastric cancers [36]. In the Nurses' Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-up Study, Wolpin and colleagues [37] found that participants with blood groups A, AB or B were more likely to develop pancreatic cancer compared to those with blood group O (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.44; 95% CI: 1.14-1.82).…”

“…Although the underlying mechanisms linking the ABO blood group system and cancer are still largely unknown, one plausible hypothesis involves the ABO blood group-driven regulation of circulating levels of several inflammatory adhesion molecules (i.e., soluble E-selectin, P-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule-1), which may play a key role in the process of tumorigenesis [36]. Moreover, the recent discovery that von Willebrand factor (VWF), which carries the ABO blood group determinants, is an important modulator of angiogenesis and apoptosis offers an alternative, particularly intriguing pathogenetic hypothesis [41].…”

“…11 The higher prevalence of blood group A in patients with gastric cancer formerly observed by several studies has also been recently confirmed in a large prospective population-based study involving more than one million of Scandinavian blood donors followed for up to 35 years. 12,13 The association between ABO blood types and colon cancer showed an increased risk of colon carcinoma in AB blood type. 14 Rachna Bhattarai, International Chef and dietician, in an interview in Guardian News Bureau, stated that people having B+ blood group should refrain from eating grain based food as it can affect their bones.…”

INTRODUCTIONThe medical fraternity and scientists across the globe have not subscribed concretely the blood group relation with food habits. Here in this article, we are critically analyzing its relationship with calories intake. This critical study throws many challenges to the experts in the field of nutrition, dieticians, naturopathy therapists, and other such health practitioners.The prevalent concepts of diet and nutrition are based on age, calorie requirements, sex, and nature of work of a person. A diet plan for any individual primarily focuses on the said aspects and his/her health condition. The diet plan also differs according to the culture, region and religion of people. It can further be contemplated that if a baby's blood group can be known when he/she is in the womb then the mother's food habits can be changed accordingly so as to benefit the baby's health. There is an immense need to carry out genetic research in the area of blood groups of people. 1In this paper, we are analyzing the calories intake versus blood groups of different people and also suggesting ABSTRACT Background: In this paper, we attempted to critically analyze the relation between food habits intake versus different blood groups. In majority of the cases we found that there is a close link between the food habits versus the blood groups. Methods: As a sample measure, we collected 50 sample blood groups and their respective food habits. Descriptive statistics is applied to know the average number of people having different food habits versus blood groups. The study covers 25 females and 25 males. The target groups cover students, public and staff of Patanjali Yogpeeth and also patients. Results:The findings of the study show that the 4 major blood groups A, B, AB and O have almost the same food habits in terms of calorie intake. Secondly, the study shows that there is a probability of blood groups having a relation to different ailments which could be treated with appropriate dieting systems and energy. Thirdly, the sample study shows that people having AB blood group may be more prone to mental discomforts for which Aloevera juice along with general yoga practices has been suggested followed by other blood groups; A, B and O. Conclusions: This study will be useful for all the medical and paramedical practitioners, dieticians, nutrition experts. It will have general health policy implications at primary and sub center level centers.

“…In recent years, several studies have suggested that importance of ABO blood group system in the development of hemostasis and neoplastic disease, because of ABO antigens are highly expressed on the surface of a variety of human cells and tissues [18]. However, to date, association between ABO blood type and lung cancer survival have not been well developed.…”
