Blood Group O less Likely to contract Corona viruse than any other Blood group

 Blood group O less likely to contract coronavirus infection than any other blood type | Study

Recent studies reveal that people with blood group O are at lower risk of contracting the novel coronavirus or Covid-19 infection. One study identified ABO blood group as a risk factor for Covid-19, while another said that patients with blood group A or AB are at increased risk for requiring mechanical ventilation

Even as scientists are working around the clock to identify the Covid-19 risk factors, two new studies, that investigated the "potential role of blood type in predicting" the risk, revealed that people with blood group 'O' are less vulnerable to the novel coronavirus infection than any other blood type.

Two recent studies published in Blood Advances show that people with blood group O are at lower risk of contracting the Covid-19 or SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Although these new studies provide evidence of a potential link between blood type and vulnerability to Covid-19, additional research is needed to better understand why and what it means for patients, a report in Science daily said.

BLOOD GROUP O LESS VULNERABLE TO COVID-19 | STUDY 1

"Blood group O is associated with a decreased risk for contracting SARS-CoV-2 [Covid-19] infection,"revealed one of the studies.

Researchers found that among the individuals who tested positive for the novel coronavirus, "considerably fewer group O individuals were found", while "conversely, more A, B, and AB individuals were noted".

"This study identifies ABO blood group as a risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 infection but not for hospitalisation or death from Covid-19," the study further said.

This means that that person with blood types A, B, or AB may be at a higher risk of getting infected with Covid-19 than people with type O.

However, the researchers didn't find any significant difference in the rate of infection between A, B, and AB types.

During the course of the study, from February 27, 2020, to July 30, 2020, 841,327 individuals were tested by "real-time polymerase chain reaction" for Covid-19 infection in Denmark. Of these, 473,654 individuals were eligible for the test (7,422 positive and 466,232 negative).

Moreover, a reference group (control group) with relevant blood group information from 2,204,742 non-tested individuals was included.

Torben Barington, MD, of Odense University Hospital and the University of Southern Denmark, and study co-author, was quoted by Science Daily as saying: "It is very important to consider the proper control group because blood type prevalence may vary considerably in different ethnic groups and different countries."

"We have the advantage of a strong control group -- Denmark is a small, ethnically homogenous country with a public health system and a central registry for lab data -- so our control is population-based, giving our findings a strong foundation," he was quoted as saying.

The study said that there was a "slight, but statistically significant, the difference in blood group distribution between the SARS-CoV-2- [negative] individuals and the reference population".

BLOOD GROUP A, AB: HIGHER RISK OF SEVERITY | STUDY 2

Another recent study revealed that critically-ill Covid-19 patients with blood group A or AB are at a higher risk for requiring mechanical ventilation, CRRT, and prolonged stay at ICU -- suggesting that they had greater rates of lung injury from Covid-19 -- as compared with patients with blood groups O or B.

"Covid-19 patients with blood group A or AB are at increased risk for requiring mechanical ventilation vs those with blood group O or B," the retrospective analysis showed.

"Covid-19 patients with blood groupA or AB appear to exhibit a greater disease severity than patients with blood group O or B," it further said.

Explaining the finding of the study, the Science daily report said: "Blood groups A and AB associated with increased risk of severe clinical outcomes of Covid-19 infection. People with blood groups A or AB appear to exhibit greater Covid-19 disease severity than people with blood groups O or B."

This means, people with blood group O, are unlikely to have severe clinical outcomes.

"Further research is required to delineate the biological mechanisms underpinning these findings," it said.

Mypinder S Sekhon, MD, of the University of British Columbia, and study author was quoted as saying: "The unique part of our study is our focus on the severity effect of blood type on Covid-19. We observed this lung and kidney damage, and in future studies, we will want to tease out the effect of blood group and Covid-19 on other vital organs."

For this study, researchers examined data from 95 critically-ill Covid-19 patients hospitalized in Vancouver, Canada. However, it had several limitations.

These two studies suggest that patients in the two blood groups -- A and AB -- may have an increased risk of organ dysfunction or failure due to Covid-19 than people with blood types O or B, the report in Science Daily concluded.

WHAT PREVIOUS STUDIES SAY

A study published in April 2020 and revised in September said that the "unadjusted prevalence of initial infection" was higher among A and B blood types and lower among AB types, compared with type O".

It also found that Blood type A was at lower risk of both "intubation and death relative to type O, while type AB was at increased risk of both outcomes".

"We found that type B individual were at higher risk of intubation but at lower risk of death, compared with type O," the study said.

The risk of death was slightly increased among type AB individuals and was decreased among types A, B, and Rh-negative types, it revealed.

Another study said: "Patients with blood types B and AB who received a test were more likely to test positive and blood type O was less likely to test positive. Rh+ patients were more likely to test positive."

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING BLOOD GROUP O

People with blood type O negative are universal donors -- they can donate their blood to all groups. However, they can only receive O negative blood.

People with blood group O positive can donate blood only to people with positive blood groups -- A+, B+, O+, AB+. They can only receive transfusions from O positive or O negative blood types.

Some reports suggest that people with blood type O are at lower risk of having heart diseases.

Previous studies have shown that "gastric cancer was less common in patients with blood group O".

Gamdani moj : Old Images of Gamdani moj

  Drive into the little village of Raj-Samadhiyala in this chronically drought affected state and you will discover another side of the availabilit

Is Narmada the only answer for Gujarat's parched lips? At least that is what it appears from the way the state governments, past and present have tried to divert the waters of this river to the state. And most people of the state believe this is the only answer.

But not all. Drive down just 20 kilometres on the Rajkot-Jamnagar highway to the little village of Raj-Samadhiyala in this chronically drought affected state and you will discover another side of the availability of water in the state.

Photo courtesy: CSE

While driving through unrelieved miles of thirsty land and desperate looking people, you may be forgiven for thinking that you've suddenly been rewarded with an oasis. At the height of summer, there about 50,000 trees, the fields have standing crops and what is perhaps most amazing, there is water in the taps!

So why does this village have the magic wand? There is no overflowing water source, or no kinder than usual guardian deity. In fact just about two decades ago, villagers from nearby villages refused to marry their daughters here and it was part of the desert development programme.

Today the difference Raj-Samadhiyala has with neighbouring villages like Amiala or Dhandiya is telling. And the single factor making the difference is water. Combined with Hardevsingh Jadeja.

Jadeja who? Jadeja, the iron willed sarpanch of Raj-Samadhiyala, a village of about 280 households that is being held up as an example by governments and activists alike across the world. A local from the Thakur community, he became the sarpanch in 1978 and since then has worked tirelessly to transform the village.

A village without a stream, Jadeja first decided to make it possible to store the 20 odd inches of monsoon rainfall that the village got. This obviously was easier said than done. A graduate from Saurashtra University, Jadeja explains in his broken English that that was a struggle that involved long years of research and seeking help.

After approaching various agencies, he finally got the drainage pattern of rainfall mapped by a visiting ISRO hydrologist, who prepared a satellite map of the village. The issue then was to stop the run-off from flowing away. This would be possible, he finally realized, only by the construction of numerous small of check dams. He approached the state government with his plans and persuaded them to lend a fraction of the funds needed to make these dams, which finally came from District Rural Development Agency (DRDA). The labour came from the villagers, who were initially unconvinced about the potential of small dams in a land where big dams are the temples of hope.

And in the last few years, these check dams have kept growing in number. And it is what this is made possible is where marc-level planners need to take note. As opposed to the one monsoon crop they managed grow earlier, the village now can grow crops three times a year. And this even in years with four inches of rainfall. The annual vegetable sale has gone up to about 25 lakh a year. And it is the range of crops that leaves one stunned - wheat, cauliflower, chilies, tomato, coriander, brinjal, potato, radish, carrot, guava, chikoo, mango, amla, sugarapple, even water intensive groundnut.

The check dams have ensured that the rainwater percolates underground, which has seen the groundwater levels rise gradually over the years. So every village house has access to piped water, certainly a rarity in rural India.

And these riches have transformed the life in the village. Since Jadeja has taken over, he has enforced a strict 'code of law', which includes numerous civic and social codes. For example, there is no litter in the village streets, as anyone caught littering has to pay a hefty fine! A remarkable law that most of India could do well to emulate, this is not the only thing step Jadeja has taken.

The village has already received the state award for its achievements in family planning. In the 1990s, it actually managed to bring down its population by 200, and this when migration was no longer an attractive option for villagers.

Small is beautiful. Raj-Samadhiyala, with 45 water harvesting structures, has proved that in no uncertain terms. Just the mere collection of rainwater and tapping it properly has given it the necessary springboard for overall development - a model that other villages affected by water scarcity would do well to emulate, if only to ensure their own survival.
