Your blood type may be a key defining factor when it comes to your stroke risk, a new study has warned.
The life-threatening condition occurs when the blood supply is cut of to parts of the brain. Strokes are categorised into two types - haemorrhagic and ischemic, with the latter being most common.
An ischemic stroke happens when either a clot or a build-up of fatty deposits and cholesterol blocks a major blood vessel in the brain. A haemorrhagic stroke is caused be a burst blood vessel in the brain, leaking blood into surrounding tissues.
High blood pressure, diabetes, smoking (doubling the risk for ischemic strokes), high cholesterol and being obese or binge drinking are all risk factors when it comes to strokes.

They analysed data on 7,000 stroke patients and found that around one in 16 strokes were more evident among people with blood type A.
It was noted that blood type A accounted for 16% higher risks for strokes occurring before the age of 60 compared to any other blood types.
Those with blood type B were second most at risk and those with type O had the lowest risk.
The study was unclear as to why blood type appears to play a role in stroke risk but it is thought to influence a person's risk of developing dangerous clots.
A stroke is described as a brain attack, and occurs when there is a blockage of the blood vessels which either interrupts or reduces the supply of blood to the brain.
“If blood supply is stopped even for a short time, this can cause
