• OSTEOPOROSIS
• RISK
• ELDERLY CHINESE ADULTS
• ABO BLOOD GROUPS

This study investigated whether the ABO blood groups contributed to the severity of osteoporosis in 1452 community-dwelling Chinese adults aged 50 - 85 years. Osteoporosis severity was scored as: F-0, no osteoporosis; F-1, osteopenia; F-2, osteoporosis; and F-3, severe osteoporosis. The proportions of adults with a non-O blood group were 55.0%, 62.0%, 70.8% and 72.6% for the groups with F-0, F-1, F-2 and F-3 osteoporosis scores, respectively. Having a non-O blood group was associated with an increased severity of osteoporosis, even after adjustment for gender, age and cigarette consumption (odds ratio 1.8; 95% confidence interval 1.0, 2.9). This study demonstrated that having a non-O blood group was an independent risk factor for the progression of osteoporosis in Chinese adults with osteoporosis aged >= 50 years.
