The Relationship of ABO Blood Group, Age, Gender, Smoking, and Helicobacter pylori Infection

Objective We aimed to investigate the relationship of Helicobacter pylori infection with alcohol and smoking. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study among participants who underwent health check-ups for H. pylori infection between January 2013 and March 2017. We subsequently investigated the relationship of H. pylori infection with alcohol and smoking. Results A total of 7169 participants were enrolled in this study. The overall prevalence of H. pylori infection was 55.2%. Participants with H. pylori infection were more likely to be older than those without H. pylori infection. For male participants with H. pylori infection, multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that both smoking (odds ratio (OR): 1.61; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.41–1.83) and alcohol consumption (OR: 1.30; 95% CI: 1.10–1.52) were independently positively associated with H. pylori infection. For female participants, multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that both smoking (OR: 0.03; 95% CI: 0.02–0.07) and alcohol consumption (OR: 0.20; 95% CI: 0.12–0.33) were inversely significantly associated with H. pylori infection after adjustment for age. Conclusions Smoking and alcohol consumption were risk factors for male participants but these were protective factors for female individuals with H. pylori infection.

COVID – 19 is a global pandemic caused by a coronavirus named SARS CoV -2. A large family of viruses that causes severe respiratory diseases known as Coronavirus (CoVs) show symptoms such as common cold and range to more rare and severe respiratory diseases such SARAS i.e Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome and MERS i.e Middle East Respiratory Syndrome detected for the first time in 2003 and 2012, respectively. It is expected to be a zoonotic virus transmitted via bats categorically, from genus Rhinolophus and closely related animals to humans. As this life threatening pandemic started from the Wuhan city of China, and the examination about this disease is still in continuity. It is very important to explore all possible scientific key points regarding this disease to eradicate such a dangerous issue from the society and to save the human race on earth. Literature available till now confirmed that the ABO blood group system showed significant relationship with various diseases. Now, scientific communities were working on different aspects of COVID-19 disease. But by keeping in mind about the severity of this disease and the relationship of blood group system of humans with infectious disease we conducted this study. Present review is designed to explore the relationship of COVID-19 alongwith other disease with the ABO blood group and Von Willebrand Factor. This study will provide information about the scientific evidences regarding the role of blood group antigens in prognosis of COVID-19 alongwith other disease and this can be significant for future research.
