People with blood type 'A' are more at risk of stroke
compared to other blood groups among young individuals. Following them are individuals with blood type 'B' who are at a higher risk of stroke. However, those with blood type 'O' have a 12 percent lower risk of primary stroke compared to others.
Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine published a study in the journal Neurology stating the same.
When blood flow is not evenly distributed in the brain due to blood clots or blood pooling in the brain's narrow blood vessels, the risk of stroke increases.
Where in the brain a stroke occurs and how quickly the patient is taken to a doctor will determine the impact of stroke on the patient's body.
Researcher Steven J. Kittner states that young boys and girls are increasingly being affected by strokes. A significant portion of them end up dying. Those who survive are experiencing a decline in physical abilities compared to before. They are becoming more rigid. However, why the risk of stroke is increasing at a young age is not researched extensively. He further explains that research is being conducted on why the risk of stroke is increasing among people below 60 years of age. No information has been found as to why this risk is increasing among individuals with blood type 'A'. Further research is being conducted on this aspect.
