Studies suggest that in addition to lifestyle, diet, and genetics, blood type may also influence the aging process of the body. This biological factor, often overlooked outside the context of transfusions or emergency situations, may play a more important role in cellular aging than previously thought.
Blood Type O: Possible Advantage
Early research suggests that people with blood type O may have natural health advantages:
Lower risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes.
Less chance of some types of cancer.
More efficient blood clotting with age, which improves circulation and oxygenation to tissues.
This may lead to slower physical deterioration, although lifestyle remains a key factor.
Blood types A, B, and AB: More vulnerable to inflammation
People with these blood types may face greater challenges as they age, such as:
Higher levels of chronic inflammation, which is a key factor in aging and disease.
Slightly increased risks of high blood pressure and some age-related neurological diseases.
