What's YOUR BLOOD-TYPE???

March 12th 2009 10:37
red blood cells free image
The human body contains one of four main blood types: A, B, AB and O.

Each blood-type also has an accompanying Rhesus or Rh factor of either positive or negative.

The most commonly found blood-type in the world is O positive while the rarest is AB negative.

From the U.S population it was determined that the percentages of blood types were as follows.

O positive ~ 38.4%
O negative ~ 7.7%

A positive ~ 32.3%
A negative ~ 6.5%

B positive ~ 9.4%
B negative ~ 1.7%

AB positive ~ 3.2%
AB negative ~ 0.7%

So what blood type do you have? Are you reasonably rare like me (O-) or do you have a more common popular blood type?

Hi Melissa,

I am also O neg and, as you will be aware, we are often called 'universal donors' because O neg blood can be used for transfusions on anybody.

A positive for me.

I didn't know that As were so much more common than Bs. I wonder why that is?

Rare find here - me is AB neg.
There is a great book that's been around for a few years called Eat Right for Your Type that tells you of food to eat to boost the strength of your blood. AB negs - EAT LOTS OF TURKEY!

O positive. The only reason I know is because I've had kids. Before then I had no idea

Fun post, Melissa.

I am A-negative which puts me (according to your calculations) in the bucket of only 6.5% of the population.

Is that special or is it a negative.

I don't even know what my blood type is! Maybe I should find out?

I had no idea until very recently - when I decided to

a) become involved in a volunteer study for breast cancer research

b) decided it was high time I became a blood donor.

Much to my disappointment - I'm just your garden variety A Positive.

Mrs Nice Guy though is an O - so in huge demand as far as platlettes go.

So, I am O .....I believe that is a good thing considering if I ever have a life threatening injury, there will most likely be blood around to save me.....and Lord knows I m accident prone....
