Abstract

After significant discovery of the ABO blood groups of human beings by Karl Landsteiner, a number of works have been carried out on different types of blood groups like MN type, Q types, etc. and in the same time, number of researches were also carried regarding different aspects of blood groups like its genetic analysis, its inheritance, its role in paternity test, its role in blood transfusion and general physiology etc. Not only this, many literatures and reports are also available on blood groups and their relation to susceptibility of infection, heart diseases. In the COVID-19 pandemic, number of works also haves been carried out and their reports available reveal the role of blood groups in relation to bacterial and viral infections. No doubt many reports are also available on the blood groups and their relation to health and longevity. But very little information is available regarding blood groups and their relationship with healthy longevity. Further, in most of the review articles, workers mostly emphasize the ABO blood groups and their relationship with several said topics or issues, but little information is available regarding the role of Rh antigen in relation to healthy longevity. So, there is a need to review the work related to blood groups and its relation to healthy longevity. In this context, the present research work has been taken.

Keywords: ABO blood groups, Rh antigen, healthy longevity, diseases, immunity
