ABO Kan Gruplarının COVID-19 ile Psikolojik ve Fiziksel Aktivite Sonuçları Üzerindeki Etkileri: Kadınlar Üzerinde Karşılaştırmalı Bir Çalışma

Giriş ve Amaç: Bu araştırma, COVID-19 enfekte olan ve olmayan kadınlarda ABO kan gruplarının COVID-19 ve bunun psikolojik ve fiziksel aktivite sonuçları üzerindeki etkilerini karşılaştırmalı olarak belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Yöntem: Bu kesitsel karşılaştırmalı çalışma, sosyal medya platformlarında (WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger ve Instagram gibi) web tabanlı bir çevrimiçi anket kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Örneklem 409 kadını (206 COVID-19(+); 203 COVID-19(-)) içermektedir. Bulgular: Kan grubu A olan katılımcıların %65'i COVID-19 ile enfekte olurken, kan grubu A olan katılımcıların enfeksiyon riskini 3.929 kat artırdığı görüldü. Tersine, kan grubu O olan katılımcılar %33.6 ile en düşük enfeksiyon oranına ve aynı zamanda en düşük riske sahipti. Rh faktörü dikkate alındığında Rh faktörü (Rh(+)) olan katılımcıların %66'sı COVID-19 ile enfekte olmuş ve Rh(+) enfeksiyon riskini 2.506 kat artırmıştır. COVID-19 ile enfekte olanlar, olmayanlara göre daha fazla psikolojik semptomlara sahipti, burada COVID-19 ile enfekte olanlarda somatizasyonda 1.241 kat ve obsesif-kompulsif semptomlarda 1.354 kat artış vardı. COVID-19 ile enfekte olanlar, olmayanlara göre daha düşük orta düzeyde fiziksel aktivite puanlarına sahipti. Sadece COVID-19 ile enfekte olan katılımcılar arasında, A kan grubuna sahip olanlar arasında psikolojik semptomlar diğerlerine göre daha yaygındı. Enfekte katılımcıların kan gruplarına göre fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri arasında fark yoktu. Sonuç: Kan grubu A ve Rh(+) olanların COVID-19 enfeksiyon riskini artırdığı, psikolojik semptomların COVID-19 ile enfekte olan ve kan grubu A olan kadınlarda daha yaygın olduğu sonucuna varıldı.

Effects of ABO Blood Groups on Psychological and Physical Activity Outcomes with COVID-19: A Comparative Study on Women

Background and Aim: This study compared the effects of ABO blood groups on COVID-19 and its psychological and physical activity outcomes in infected and non-infected women. Methods: This cross-sectional comparative study was conducted using a web-based online survey on social media platforms (such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram). The sample included 409 women (206 COVID-19(+); 203 COVID-19(-)). Results: While that 65% of the participants with the blood group A were infected with COVID-19, having the blood group A increased the risk of infection 3.929 times. Conversely, the participants with the blood group O had the lowest rate of infection at 33.6% as well as the lowest risk. Considering the Rh factor, 66% of the participants with the Rh factor (Rh(+)) were infected with COVID-19, and Rh(+) increased the risk of infection 2.506 times. Those infected with COVID-19 had more psychological symptoms than those who were not, where those infected with COVID-19 had a 1.241-fold increase in somatization and a 1.354-fold increase in obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Those infected with COVID-19 had lower moderate physical activity scores than those who were not. Among only the COVID-19-infected participants, psychological symptoms were more prevalent among those with the blood group A than others. There was no difference between the physical activity levels of the infected participants according to their blood groups. Conclusions: It was concluded that the blood group A and Rh(+) increased the risk of COVID-19 infection, and psychological symptoms were more prevalent among women infected with COVID-19 and having the blood group A.
