Abstract
ABO blood system is not only important for determining the lifestyle diseases, blood transfusion and exchange but it has also been found to be highly relevant to genetic marker of obesity. Recent studies are trying to explore the relation between blood grouping and obesity, and blood group diets and management of obesity. But still there are limited studies related to reduction of weight from blood group diets. The aim of this study is to examine the association of blood groups and weight reduction through a Moderate-Fat, Balanced Nutrient Reduction Diets among overweight and obese adults. A longitudinal study was conducted over 175 overweight and obese adults (>18 years and <60 years of age) of urban Bihar. A planned diet regime was followed by participants for a period of six months, and their anthropometric measurements were used for statistical analysis. There were substantial decreases in weight, BMI and waist circumference across different blood groups resulted through moderate-fat balanced nutrient reduction diet plan in both genders. For all blood groups, BMI reduction was at least 3.78 kg/m2 through the program, and the program was most effective for blood group O positive participants.
