Sažetak
A study was carried out on two population cohorts during two years to differentiate alcoholics from the rest of population in respect of the incidence of blood groups. The subjects - alcoholics and nonalcoholics, were male workers aged 40-60 years who had retired as disabled during the current or previous year. One cohort consisted of two groups of 34 subjects each, alcoholics and controls, in whom the blood groups of the ABO system and Rh blood groups were determined. The other cohort included two groups of 120 subjects each, who had their ABO, Rh, as well as Kell, P, MN, S, C and E blood groups determined. The criteria for entering the group of alcoholics were based on daily intake of alcohol and duration of alcohol abuse. The control group consisted of the workers who drank occasionally minor amounts of alcoholic beverages. Data processing failed to reveal any statistically significant difference in the distribution of blood groups between alcoholics and control subjects.
