The regulatory effect of blood group on ferritin levels in aging: a retrospective study
ABO blood type may influence ferritin levels as individuals age. Notably, in individuals with blood types A and B, the inverse relationship between age and ferritin levels was particularly significant among middle-aged and elderly individuals. These findings suggested the potential benefit of targeted iron supplementation for this population.
