A Cross-Sectional Study to Assess the Association between ABO Blood Group with Hypertension among 1st year Medical Students
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Introduction: It has been found in various studies that ABO blood groups are associated with various diseases such as duodenal ulcer, gastric cancer, diabetes mellitus, urinary tract infection, Hypertension and venous thrombosis. Since hypertension is multifactorial, the ABO antigens may indirectly influence arterial pressure. Objectives were to know the distribution of blood groups among the subjects and to assess the association between ABO blood groups and Hypertension Material and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among the 1st year medical students in the department of Physiology of Rohilkhand Medical College And Hospital, Bareilly for the period of November 2016 to January 2017. A total of 150 undergraduate students were included in the study by using convenient sampling technique and after taking informed consent. Blood grouping was carried out with the standard antisera. The blood pressure was recorded using mercury sphygmo-manometer both by palpatory and auscultatory methods. Results: The frequency of various blood groups are O-39%, B-37%, A-17%, AB-7%. There was no significant difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure of different blood groups. Conclusion: Blood group O is the most common blood group in our study. There was no statistically significant association between ABO Blood groups and Hypertension.
