Kapanlagi.com - Covid-19 is still a frightening disease for many people. Some individuals are also vulnerable and have a higher risk of contracting the disease, such as smokers, the elderly, obese individuals, and those with underlying health conditions.

In a new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, it was found that certain blood types have a lower risk of being infected with the Covid-19 virus. According to BestLife, what blood type is it?

1. Strong Blood Type O

From January 15 to June 30, researchers from St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, Canada conducted tests on 225,556 individuals. They examined the likelihood of patients getting infected, experiencing severe illness, and dying from Covid-19.

Based on demographic adjustments and comorbidities, blood type O has a 12% lower risk of being diagnosed with Covid and a 13% lower risk of death compared to other blood types.

"Rh blood type provides protection against Covid infection, especially for those who are O-negative."

2. Blood Type A is at Higher Risk

Meanwhile, for blood types that are more vulnerable to Covid-19, research from the South University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen, China found that blood type A is at higher risk.

At that time, researchers tracked the blood types of around 2,200 patients affected by Covid in Chinese hospitals and around 27,000 people who tested negative for Covid. The result showed that blood type A is more susceptible to the Covid virus compared to other blood types.

Well, it all goes back to individuals who must always maintain their health and hygiene. So, always remember #PesanIbu (Mother's Message) to always wear a mask, wash hands, and maintain distance from others.
