People with blood type AB may be more likely to develop memory loss in later years than people with other blood types, according to a study published by Kristine Alexander, Ph.D., postdoctoral fellow in medicine, Mary Cushman, M.D., M.Sc., professor of medicine, and colleagues in the Sept. 10, 2014, online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. “Blood type is also related to other vascular conditions like stroke, so the findings highlight the connections between vascular issues and brain health,” said Cushman in the article. This research was picked up wide by media outlets, including CBS News, Fox News, the Guardian, the Times (UK), Science Daily, Huffington Post, Parade, U.S. News & World Report, WebMD and Yahoo News.
