Relationship between ABO Blood Groups and Lipid Profile Level in Healthy Adult Residents in Port Harcourt Metropolis, Nigeria

Abstract: A multitude of risk factors are responsible for development of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and association of cardiovascular disease risk factors with the ABO blood antigens is increasingly being reported. Thus, this study was designed to investigate the relationship between ABO blood groups and lipoprotein profiles of apparently 150 healthy adult patients attending Braithwaite Memorial Specialist Hospital, Port Harcourt, Nigeria following due consent to participate in the study. The serum TC, HDL-C, LDL-C … Show more

“…It has been shown in both experimental and clinical studies that higher plasma levels of LDL and cholesterol in non-O blood groups (A, AB, B) influence the susceptibility of these groups to cardiovascular diseases, while in the O blood group, higher levels of HDL tend to play a protective role in these systemic pathologies, but the molecular mechanisms by which these group-specific pathologies are influenced have not yet been elucidated.…”

“…Non-O blood groups have been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases [ 42 , 43 ]. On the other hand, all blood groups have been associated with low levels of HDL and therefore, higher cardiovascular risk profiles [ 44 ]. In contrast, only blood group B was associated with higher HDL in this study specifically among men.…”

“…In an effort to understand the relationship between ABO blood group phenotypes and evidence underpinning an association between the ABO blood group system and the risk of developing CVD, several epidemiological studies have characterized lipid profile distributions in individuals with or without metabolic disease across the ABO blood group system [7,10,[12][13][14]. However, research examining the metabolic health status of individuals according to ABO blood group, which may be an important genetic determinant for CVD processes, remains limited.…”
