title: [Relationship between serum cholesterol content, arterial blood pressure and the ABO blood group phenotype in middle-aged men].
abstract: The diagnosis of arterial hypertension among male volunteers, aged 40 to 49 years, depended to a great extent on the ABO group phenotype. Among those with AB phenotype the chances to have arterial hypertension are 46% higher than among those with the remaining 3 groups of blood. The ABO phenotype appeared to produce no significant effect upon the level of hypercholesterolemia. Males with A and AB phenotypes tended to have hypercholesterolemia more often than others. The obtained data may serve as an additional criterion for early detection of the most vulnerable contingents of individuals so that preventive measures against ischaemic heart disease and arterial hypertension could be taken.
