Blood types are classifications based on the presence or absence of certain proteins, called antigens, on the surface of red blood cells. The two main systems used to categorize blood are the ABO system and the Rh factor.Good info, thanks for sharing

About the most popular blood type:
Here’s a quick breakdown (approximate global averages):O+ → ~37–40% (most common overall)
A+ → ~27–30%
B+ → ~20%
AB+ → ~6%
O−, A−, B−, AB− → all relatively rare (each under 3–5%)
However, the pattern changes slightly by region:
In North America and Europe, O+ is most common.
In East Asia (like Japan or Korea), A+ is often the most common.
In India and some parts of Africa, B+ is relatively high.
Very informative, thanks

. Type A: Has A antigens on red blood cells and produces anti-B antibodies.
. Type B: Has B antigens and produces anti-A antibodies.
. Type AB: Has both A and B antigens and no antibodies — making it the universal recipient.
. Type O: Has no A or B antigens but has both anti-A and anti-B antibodies — making it the universal donor.
Rh Factor:
. If your blood has the Rh antigen, you are Rh positive (e.g., A+, B+).
. If it doesn’t, you are Rh negative (e.g., A-, O-).

Donating blood not only saves lives but also brings several health and emotional benefits to the donor. Physically, it helps stimulate the production of new blood cells, keeping the body’s system active and healthy. Regular blood donation can also help maintain healthy iron levels, reducing the risk of heart disease and iron overload. During the donation process, donors receive a mini health check, including blood pressure, hemoglobin, and infectious disease screening — sometimes helping detect health issues early.

I have never donated blood because I'd like to avoid needles if I can
I'm also a bit anemic and don't think it would help my symptoms to give blood.@tihi said:
