The most common blood types among Germans are A positive and O positive.
While the exact distribution can vary slightly between different studies and regions, the general proportions are as follows:
Blood Type Distribution in Germany:
| Blood Type | Percentage |
|---|---|
| O | 41% |
| A | 43% |
| B | 11% |
| AB | 5% |
Additionally, the Rhesus factor distribution is:
| Rhesus Factor | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Positive | 85% |
| Negative | 15% |
Therefore, combining this information:
- O Positive: Relatively common, but less so than A positive.
- A Positive: This is the most prevalent blood type in Germany, combining the high A blood type percentage with the even higher Rhesus positive percentage.
- Other blood types (B and AB) are significantly less common.
It's important to note that blood type distributions can vary geographically and ethnically. The figures presented here represent a general overview of the German population.
