12ds agoA new study has found your
blood type could impact your chances of getting cancer, having a stroke, or
even catching COVID-19.
A study out of the New
England Journal of Medicine found that people with type A blood had a 45% increased risk of getting
COVID-19. Those with type O were 35% less likely to get it.
Those with type O blood are
less likely to suffer a heart attack, researchers say.
Officials believe the reason
is due to type O's tend to have a lower cholesterol and lower amounts of
protein that's linked to clotting.
Type B's were 59% more likely
to be diagnosed with cancer.
