In this particular study, the basic information of around 512 individuals was collected, such as their blood group, height, weight, age. The BMI of each person was calculated and then checked with their blood groups. The objective of this study was to find out which is major blood group, which blood group has a relatively high BMI and to know if there is any association between blood groups and BMI. The blood group O (Rh+) was found to be more common, while A (Rh-) blood group was found to be insignificantly less in number. There is no strong association between blood groups and obesity (found by chi square probability). However, AB (Rh+) blood group individuals show a relatively higher mean BMI value than the others.
