Abstract

BACKGROUND: The significance of determining the frequency of blood typing in various diseases and eating
habits grew after Landsteiner's 1901 discovery of human genetic differences in blood typing. OBJECTIVES:
The aim of the study is thus to find out any relationship between different blood groups and eating disorder.
METHODOLOGY: The significance of determining the frequency of blood typing in various diseases and
eating habits grew after Landsteiner's 1901 discovery of human genetic differences in blood typing. RESULTS:
The eating disorders were recognized by Scoff’s questionnaire. The statistical analysis was done on Graph Pad
Prism9.the statistics and contingency options were explored to obtain P value. When normal menstruating women
were compared to menopausal women, the prevalence of blood groups was 23% and 20% for A blood typing,
19.9% and 18.8% for B blood typing, 3.3% and 6.1% for AB Blood typing, and 13.8% and 14.3% for blood type
O. Rh positive in typical female was 46.4% and 49.2% in menopausal ladies while Predominance of Rh negative
was 3.3% and 1.1%. The study demonstrates the likelihood of an association between the aforementioned groups
and the prevalence of blood typing.
