People with one of the type A blood groups appear to be more likely to have a stroke before the age of 60 compared with people with other blood types, according to a 2022 study.
"But it likely has something to do with blood-clotting factors like platelets and cells that line the blood vessels as well as other circulating proteins, all of which play a role in the development of blood clots."
Each year in the US, just under 800,000 individuals experience a stroke. Most of these events – around– occur in people 65 years and older, with risks doubling every decade after the age of 55. For this, the researchers used a dataset of about 9,300 people over the age of 60 who had a stroke and some 25,000 controls over the age of 60 who didn't have a stroke.
