好文分享 – 關於血型

上次的好文分享提到了關於水資源的議題，

今天要來分享的主題是：

好文分享 – 關於血型

==========

Researchers have pointed out that it is important to know one’s blood type. When Harvard scientists analyzed more than two decades of data on more than 77,000 people, they found that people with type AB blood had a 23 percent increased risk for heart disease compared to people with type O blood.Those with type B blood had an 11 percent higher risk and people with type A blood had 5 percent greater risk of heart disease.

研究人員指出了解血型是很重要的。當哈佛科學家分析了超過二十年且超過 77000 人的數據，發現 AB型的人比 O型的人多出 23% 風險罹患心臟病。B型的人則是高出 11% 至於A型的人多了 5% 風險罹患心臟病

Researchers aren’t sure why, though. But they posit that type A blood is associated with LDL cholesterol and that type O blood, which is associated with reduced risk, may contain a chemical that boosts blood flow and prevents clots. However, researchers are quick to point out that lifestyle factors like weight, smoking, and diet,which, unlike blood type, are modifiable and have a much greater impact on heart disease.

研究人員不確定原因。但他們認為 A型的人與 LDL膽固醇有關；而O型的人則與促進血液流動和預防血凝塊的化學物質相關；然而研究人員指出與生活方式因素改變像是：體重、抽菸、飲食等對心臟疾病更有影響而不是血型

心臟病的發生或許伴隨者許多原因，

個人比較傾向於最後提到與生活相關的因素，

例如體重、飲食習慣等會比血型佔較大的影響，
