摘要

Background: High serum cholesterol is strongly implicated in the development of cardio vascular diseases. The relationships between ABO blood groups and cholesterol levels have been established but differ in many studies.Method: Two hundred and ten (210) students were recruited for this study (age ranging between 18-35 year). Blood groups and total serum cholesterol were determined.Result: A chi square test among the ABO blood groups and cholesterol levels is statistically significant at p < 0.05.Conclusion: This study shows that blood group A individuals have significant elevated serum cholesterol level compared to the remaining blood groups. Introduction Cholesterol is a steroid alcohol with a twenty seven carbon atom that is arranged in a tetra cyclic sterane skeleton found in the cell membranes and transported in the blood plasma of all animals. It is an essential component of mammalian cell membrane where it is required to establish proper membrane permeability and fluidity; it is use for the synthesis of bile acids which are essential for fat absorption, synthesis of many hormones among which are testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, cortisol etc. it also serve as protective antioxidant1. However, the main stream medical establishment has maintained that elevated serum cholesterol levels are a primary investigator of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease2-3. Millions of people worldwide have been convinced by extensive promotional campaigns’ that the key to avoiding cardiovascular disease is to reduce cholesterol level by using lipid lowering drugs and diets low in saturated fats 4. Cholesterol contrary to its popular image as a potent enemy of health and longetivity is actually a crucial substance that performs innumerable vital functions in the body 5.Several reports have appeared in recent years suggesting an association between blood groups and various manifestations of heart diseases6. During the last few decades, few reports have suggested that ABO blood groups are associated with the risk of ischemic heart diseases and of developing severe manifestation of atherosclerosis 7. While the war on cholesterol has proved to be extremely lucrative for food and drug industries, it has delivered no benefit to public health. Cardiovascular disease is still the leading cause of death in western countries. While the number of death from cardiovascular disease has indeed decreased since the late 1960’s, total incidence of cardiovascular disease has not declined8.Also scientists are interested in the study of the possible relationship between blood groups and ischemic heart disease9-10, and the relationship of blood groups to serum cholesterol11-12.A number of studies revealed that healthy men and women of blood group A have higher mean serum cholesterol levels than those of group O or B13-15. These studies implicated blood group A as risk factor for cardiac disease. The objective of this research is to find out whether there is a relationship between ABO blood group and total serum cholesterol among apparently healthy individuals. Materials and Method Two hundred and forty (240) students participated in the study. Two hundred and ten (210) comprising one hundred and fifty males and sixty females qualified for this work. Informed consent was sought individually before being enlisted for the study. A well structured questionnaire was given to each participant. Subjects used were undergraduate students of the University of Maiduguri aged between 18 and 35years. Demographic information of the subjects was age, height, sex, weight, blood pressure. The body mass index of each student was calculated using the formula (w/h2). Students with known cases of smoking obesity, diabetes, hypertension and other related disorders or those on medication were excluded from the study. Serum total cholesterol was determined by enzymatic colorimetric method as described by Trinder 16. The reagent kit was manufactured by Randox laboratories, Ant
