Patients were divided into two groups, defined by their blood type, A (N=91) and non-A (N=109). ABO blood groups were determined using standard agglutination techniques. Information regarding history of MI was taken from their medical documentation during the preparation for surgery. &amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Results&amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; In total 200 patients were involved in this study. The study sample consisted of 151 (74.5%) males and 49 (25.5%) females. Mean age was 62.98 &amp;amp;plusmn; 7.73. Various risk factors associated with myocardial infarction were tobacco 92 (46.0%) and alcohol 54 (27.0%) consumption, obesity 77 (38.5%), diabetes mellitus 47 (23.5%) and hypertension 91 (45.3%). Being A blood type (OR=3.308; 95% Cl 1.317-8.311; p=0.011) and being male and having hypertension (OR=3.086; 95% Cl 1.262-7.545; p=0.013) significantly increased the risk for the development of MI among young adults. Patients with A blood type were significantly younger [median 58.0 vs. 63.0; U = 2738.5; p =0.027] when they developed MI compared to non-A blood type. &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Conclusion&amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; The age of myocardial infarction occurrence in the population of Bosnia and Herzegovina is lower in patients with blood group A compared to non-A blood types.&amp;lt;\/p&amp;gt;<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.17392\/1197-20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,21]],"date-time":"2024-04-21T10:28:16Z","timestamp":1713695296000},"page":"297-300","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["ABO groups as a risk factor for myocardial infarction in the population of Bosnia and Herzegovina"],"prefix":"10.17392","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2995-4719","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ermina","family":"Muji\u010di\u0107","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Centre of the University of Sarajevo","place":["Sarajevo,Bosnia and Herzegovina"],"department":["Department of Cardiovascular surgery"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nermir","family":"Granov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Centre of the University of Sarajevo","place":["Sarajevo,Bosnia and Herzegovina"],"department":["Department of Cardiovascular surgery"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Armin","family":"\u0160ljivo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, University of Sarajevo","place":["Sarajevo,Bosnia and Herzegovina"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amina","family":"Selimovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Centre of the University of Sarajevo","place":["Sarajevo,Bosnia and Herzegovina"],"department":["Department of Paediatrics"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"49509","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1148","DOI":"10.5603\/KP.a2016.0098","article-title":"Risk factors, prognosis, and secondary prevention of myocardial infarction in young adults in Poland","author":"ALisowskaA","year":"2016","unstructured":"Lisowska A, Makarewicz-Wujec M, Filipiak KJ. \nRisk factors, prognosis, and secondary prevention of \nmyocardial infarction in young adults in Poland.
