Cover Story: The objective of this study is to further highlight the differences between different ABO blood groups and Rhesus types with health biomarkers. O blood donors presented better iron absorption and the worst lipid profile. Indeed, a significant trend of high atheromatic index values revealed an increased risk for hyperlipidemia, in contrast with blood group A presenting a better lipid profile with lower atheromatic index values. There was also a gender related association for blood group A compared with O that was further highlighted using binary logistic regression. A significant difference was observed among ABO blood groups in several of the examined biochemical and hematological biomarkers. Furthermore, the RHD- group presented a better lipid profile in comparison to the RHD+ group. View this paper
