A cross-sectional study was conducted on 600 adults, with blood groups determined serologically; caries assessed using the DMFT index and gingivitis using the Gingival Index. Blood group O showed the highest mean DMFT (4.82 \u0105 2.15) and gingivitis prevalence (82.6%), with significant differences across groups (p&lt;0.01). Logistic regression identified group O as an independent predictor for high caries (OR=2.15) and gingivitis (OR=1.94). Blood group O may represent a non-modifiable risk factor for poor oral health, highlighting the need for targeted preventive strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.6026\/973206300213088","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,6]],"date-time":"2025-10-06T03:08:53Z","timestamp":1759720133000},"page":"3088-3093","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Evaluating correlation of ABO blood group, dental caries and gingivitis among the Indian population"],"prefix":"10.6026","volume":"21","author":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Daswani Dental College, Kota, Rajasthan, India","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kaushal","family":"Sharma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Prakhar","family":"Agarwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Darshan Dental College, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ananya","family":"Bhargava","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Consultant Orthodontist, Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, India","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charu","family":"Khurana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, Faculty of Dental Sciences, SGT University, Chandu Budhera, Gurugram, Haryana -122505, India","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sufia","family":"Parveen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, Buddha Institute of Dental Sciences and Hospital, Patna, Bihar, India","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chaitanya Bharathi","family":"Boya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, G.
