Previous studies have suggested that people with type O blood have a lower risk of heart disease and stroke, factors that may increase the risk of memory loss and dementia.
Mary Cushman of the University of Vermont College of Medicine (Vermont, USA) and colleagues analyzed data from stroke involving more than 30,000 people followed for an average of 3.4 years. The study analyzed the relationship between blood type and memory problems or cognitive impairment.
The team found that people with blood type AB (rarest blood type / less common) had a much higher risk of developing problems with thinking and memory that can lead to dementia. The team then focused its attention on factor VIII, a protein that helps the blood to clot, but whose high levels are linked to higher risk of cognitive impairment and dementia. People with AB blood had a higher average level of factor VIII, compared to people with other types of blood.
The authors of the study conclude that "the blood group AB and factor VII levels Isuperiori are associated with a higher incidence of cognitive impairment."
