A Correlation Study of Hypertension and Abo Blood Group System at Tertiary Care Hospital.

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is the major public health issue globally, contributing to a high incidence of cardiovascular diseases. The ABO blood group system has been studied in various contexts for its potential association with several diseases, but its correlation with hypertension has been less explored.

Objectives: This study aims to examine the correlation between the ABO blood group system and the prevalence of hypertension in a tertiary care hospital setting. Additionally, it seeks to assess the distribution of hypertension among different blood groups and explore any gender predilection for hypertension across the ABO blood group system.

 Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital with a sample size of 250 patients. Participants were screened for hypertension and their blood groups were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the association between blood group types and hypertension, considering gender differences.

Results: Preliminary analysis suggests a variable distribution of hypertension across different ABO blood groups, with potential gender differences in blood group distribution among hypertensive patients.

Conclusion: Understanding the correlation between the ABO blood group system and hypertension can contribute to better risk stratification and potentially influence management strategies in hypertensive patients. Further detailed results and discussions will provide more insights into these associations.
