				        	Objective To explore the association between the ABO blood group and the risk of myocardial infarction in Chinese people.Methods We retrospectively recruited 1 988 consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and 1 856 non-coronary artery disease (non-CAD) subjects who hospitalized in our hospital between January 2013 and December 2013.The clinical features and ABO blood group were analyzed.Results Blood group distribution was A (27.1%,539/1 988),B (34.4%,684/1 988),AB(10.8%,215/1 988),O (27.7%,551/1 988) in patients with AMI and A (26.7%,496/1 856),B(32.2%,598/1 856),AB (10.8%,200/1 856),O (30.4%,564/1 856) in non-CAD group.The single factor analysis showed that blood group O tended to be more common in the non-CAD group than in AMI group (P =0.06).After adjustment for common cardiovascular risk factors such as age,gender,hypertension,diabetes,smoking and serum cholesterol level,the A,B,and AB blood groups were associated with increased risk of AMI compared with O blood group,and the difference was significant with A blood group (OR =1.229,95% CI 1.019-1.482,P =0.031) and B blood groups (OR =1.214,95% CI 1.017-1.449,P =0.032).In addition,non-O blood group remained significantly associated with the increased risk of AMI than O blood group after logistic regression analysis(OR =1.223,95% CI 1.048-1.426,P =0.01).Conclusion Our results suggest that non-O blood group is associated with the increased risk of AMI.
