In Pakistan, the most common blood group is B.
Several studies show variations across different provinces, but consistently, blood group B holds the highest frequency. While some regional studies indicate blood group O as the most prevalent in certain areas, a systematic review of data across Pakistan points to B as the overall most common blood type.
For example:
- One study reports blood group B's frequency at 33.37%, exceeding that of O (33.14%), A (23.99%), and AB (9.74%). [Source: Allied Academies publication]
- Other research confirms blood group B as the most prevalent, with group AB being the least prevalent. [Source: MedCraveOnline publication]
- Regional variations exist, with some studies in specific areas showing O to be more common, highlighting the need for more comprehensive nationwide studies. [Source: NCBI PMC article, Reddit discussion]
This highlights the importance of considering regional variations within Pakistan when analyzing blood type distribution. However, the preponderance of evidence indicates blood group B as the most commonly found blood type in the country as a whole.
