Scientists have discovered which blood type belongs to people who live long lives

The special case of France

In France, blood type B is relatively rare, affecting only about  10% of the population . Therefore, the potential benefits of having this blood type apply only to a  minority of French people . Nevertheless, these findings pave the way for a better understanding of the mechanisms of aging, and could ultimately influence  public health recommendations .

Towards a better understanding of aging

Although blood type is only one of many factors influencing longevity, these Japanese studies show that it could play an important role in the aging process. Regardless, whether you have blood  type B  or not,  adopting a healthy lifestyle  remains the key to aging well and maintaining your long-term health.
