Study on the risk of diabetes mellitus in ABO blood type
Objective To investigate the risk of diabetes mellitus in ABO blood type.Methods The da-ta of 1306397 healthy physical subjects in the Department of Health Management of the First Affiliated Hos-pital of Army Medical University from 2006 to 2018 were retrospectively analyzed,including gender,age, height,weight,blood glucose,blood lipid and ABO blood type.A total of 61296 subjects with both blood type and fasting blood glucose data were selected as the study population.Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze the risk of diabetes in different ABO blood types.Results There were significant differences in gender,age and BMI distribution between the total population and the study population (P<0.05).The num-ber of patients with diabetes and prediabetes in the study population was 2649 (4.3%) and 3979 (6.5%),re-spectively.There were significant differences in the distribution of cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein choles-terol (LDL-C),diabetes and pre-diabetes among people with different blood types (P<0.05).Multivariate lo-gistic regression analysis showed that compared with type O blood,type A blood had an increased risk of dia-betes (OR=1.38,95%CI:1.02-1.86,P=0.04),while type B blood (OR=1.28,95%CI:0.93-1.77,P=0.13) and type AB blood (OR=1.33,95%CI:0.83-2.11,P=0.23) did not increase the risk of diabetes. Conclusion Early screening of type A blood population and preventive treatment and intervention can be used to reduce the incidence of diabetes.
