Blood pressure refers to the force exerted by blood against the walls of blood vessels, which is influenced by the resistance of these vessels and the workload of the heart. Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular conditions such as stroke, heart attack, heart failure, and aneurysms. Blood groups categorize blood based on the presence or absence of inherited substances on red blood cell surfaces. ABO blood types have been linked to various health issues, including diabetes, migraines, stomach ulcers, hypercholesterolemia, and especially cardiovascular diseases. This study aims to explore the relationship between ABO blood groups and blood pressure among the young population at the University of Karbala. The project indicates that there is a connection between blood type and hypertension.</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong>: A descriptive study was conducted in the Biochemistry laboratory of biology University of Karbala department to investigate the relationship between blood groups and blood pressure among university students. Blood samples were collected from 150 healthy young students, consisting of 72 males and 78 females. The ABO blood group was identified using commercially available antisera, and blood pressure measurements were taken using a digital blood pressure monitor.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: The findings indicated that blood group O was the most common, followed by groups B, A, and AB, with the distribution of ABO blood groups being O 59 (39.33%) > B 55 (36.67%) > A 25 (16.67%) > AB 11 (7.33%). Additionally, male students exhibited higher blood pressure than female students. Individuals with blood group O are at a greater risk of heart diseases compared to those with blood groups A, B, and AB.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions</strong>: Consequently, individuals with type O blood should be advised to steer clear of fatty foods, engage in regular physical activity, and avoid smoking.levels of lead may cause: Miscarriage in pregnant women.</p>2025-02-13T00:00:00-06:00Copyright (c) 2025
