Blood types and strokes
Your risk for stroke could depend on your blood type.
Researchers found people with type “AB” blood had a nearly 25% greater risk for stroke compared to people with type “O” blood.
Women with type “B” blood also have a small increased risk.
Experts say this news shouldn’t set off an alarm, but rather patients should be aware of their risk and work hard to keep their blood pressure and cholesterol under control.
