People with blood type O could be less likely to get sick with [/news/coronavirus/index.html Covid-19], according to new research.
Their risk of severe complications such as organ failure — and phượng hoàng cổ trấn even death — is also reduced, say scientists.   
Danish researchers used data from 473,000 individuals tested for Covid-19 against a control group of more than 2.2million people from the general population. 
Among those who tested positive for the virus, they found fewer people with blood type O and more people with A, B, and AB types.  
Results from a second study also suggested individuals with blood types A and AB, who collectively make up just under 45 per cent of the UK and US populations, are at higher risk of having severe symptoms and complications — such as the need to be ventilated — than than those with type O or B.
The findings build on a growing body of research suggesting a link between blood type and coronavirus risk, as well as the apparent protective effect of blood type O.

Around half of people in the UK and US have type O blood. 
People with severe coronavirus and genes that code for Type A blood were 50% more likely to need oxygen or ventilator support, compared to those with other blood types (stock image of the coronavirus in the blood)

Lead author of the first study, Dr Torben Barington, of Odense University Hospital, said: 'It is very important to consider the proper control group because blood type prevalence may vary considerably in different ethnic groups and different countries.'
His team tested 196,252 people with blood type O and 277,402 with types A, B, or AB.
Whilst 38 per cent of people who tested positive for Covid-19 had type O blood, 62 per cent had type A, B or AB blood. 
The majority of people in the latter group (202,507) had type A blood, with far fewer having type B (53,735) or AB (21,160). 
Rates of infection in these last three groups were similar at around 1.6 per cent, compared to 1.4 per cent for kynghidongduong.vn those with blood type O. 
The trends remained the same after the researchers took into account ethnicity, which affects blood group distributions.
