The eight main blood types are A+, A-, B+, B-, O+, O-, AB+, and AB-. The most common blood type in the United States is O-positive, with around 38 percent of the population having this type of blood. However, blood type O-positive is more common in Latino-Americans than other ethnicities, with around 53 percent of Latino-Americans with this blood type, compared to 47 percent of African Americans and 37 percent of Caucasians. Blood donation The American Red Cross estimates that every two seconds someone in the United States needs blood or platelets, highlighting the importance of blood donation. It was estimated that in 2021, around 6.5 million people in the U.S. donated blood, with around 1.7 million of these people donating for the first time. Those with blood type O-negative are universal blood donors, meaning their blood can be transfused for any blood type. Therefore, this blood type is the most requested by hospitals. However, only about seven percent of the U.S. population has this blood type. Blood transfusion Blood transfusion is a routine procedure that involves adding donated blood to a patient’s body. There are many reasons why a patient may need a blood transfusion, including surgery, cancer treatment, severe injury, or chronic illness. In 2021, there were around 10.76 million blood transfusions in the United States. Most blood transfusions in the United States occur in an inpatient medicine setting, while critical care accounts for the second highest number of transfusions.

The most common blood type among the population in the United States is O-positive. Around 53 percent of the Latino-American population in the U.S. has blood type O-positive, while only around 37 percent of the Caucasian population has this blood type. The second most common blood type in the United States is A-positive. Around 33 percent of the Caucasian population in the United States has A-positive blood type. Blood type O-negative Those with blood type O-negative are universal donors as this type of blood can be used in transfusions for any blood type. O-negative blood type is most common in the U.S. among Caucasian adults. Around eight percent of the Caucasian population has type O-negative blood, while only around one percent of the Asian population has this blood type. Only around seven percent of all adults in the United States have O-negative blood type. Blood Donations The American Red Cross estimates that someone in the United States needs blood every two seconds. However, only around three percent of age-eligible people donate blood yearly. The percentage of adults who donated blood in the United States has not fluctuated much for the past two decades. In 2021, around 15 percent of U.S. adults donated blood, the same share reported in the year 2003.

Abstract

IPUMS-International is an effort to inventory, preserve, harmonize, and disseminate census microdata from around the world. The project has collected the world's largest archive of publicly available census samples. The data are coded and documented consistently across countries and over time to facillitate comparative research. IPUMS-International makes these data available to qualified researchers free of charge through a web dissemination system.

The IPUMS project is a collaboration of the Minnesota Population Center, National Statistical Offices, and international data archives. Major funding is provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Additional support is provided by the University of Minnesota Office of the Vice President for Research, the Minnesota Population Center, and Sun Microsystems.

UNITS IDENTIFIED: - Dwellings: No - Vacant units: No - Households: Yes - Individuals: Yes - Group quarters: No - Special populations: Yes (Homeless, refugees, camps)

UNIT DESCRIPTIONS: - Dwellings: A building is an independent free-standing structure irrespective of its construction material, composed of one or more rooms. - Households: A household consists of a person or a group of persons who live together in the same housing unit or part of it and who consider themselves as one unit in terms of the provision of food and/or other essentials of living for the group. When most of the members of such a group are related by blood (i.e., biologically) the group shall be referred to as a Private Household for the purpose of the census. On the other hand when the group (i.e., household as defined earlier) consists of members who are not related by blood and they are more than 10, they will be considered as Non-Institutional Collective Household. Note that if the group consists of 10 or less members, it should be considered a private household. - Group quarters: An institution is usually a set of premises used to house a large number of people who are not related by blood or marriage but bound together by a common objective or personal interest (e.g., universities, boarding houses, hospitals, army barracks, camps, prisons, hotels, etc.)

In 2018, it was estimated that high-income countries accounted for 40 percent of blood donations worldwide, although high-income countries represent just 16 percent of the world population. This statistic shows the distribution of blood donations worldwide compared to population distribution in 2018, by income group.

Around 10.5 percent of the global adult population suffered from diabetes in 2021 - by the year 2045 this number is expected to rise to over 12 percent. Diabetes, or diabetes mellitus, refers to a group of metabolic disorders that result in chronic high blood sugar levels. Diabetes can lead to serious health complications, such as cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and stroke and is now among the top ten leading causes of death worldwide.

Prevalence
Diabetes is a global problem affecting a variety of countries. China currently has the largest number of diabetics worldwide with some 141 million people suffering from the disease. However, the highest prevalence of diabetes is found among French Polynesia, Mauritius, and Kuwait. Rates of diabetes have increased in many countries in recent years, as have rates of obesity, one of the leading risk factors for the disease.

Outlook
It is predicted that diabetes will continue to be a problem in the future. Africa is expected to see a 134 percent increase in the number of diabetics in the region from 2021 to 2045, while North America and the Caribbean are expected to see an increase of 24 percent. In 2045, China is predicted to be the country with the highest number of diabetics worldwide, with the United States accounting for the fourth highest number.

In 2023, there were 179,703 people worldwide who had hemophilia A and around 17,298 people with other platelet disorders. This statistic displays the number of people worldwide diagnosed with a blood disorder by disorder type, as of 2023.

In 2023, almost 219 thousand people were confirmed to have hemophilia worldwide. At that time, a further 101 thousand people were living with von Willebrand disease. Both of these bleeding disorders are genetic diseases that prevent blood from clotting normally. Bleeding disorders There are multiple types of hemophilia and bleeding disorders including hemophilia A, hemophilia B and various platelet disorders. Globally, hemophilia A has the largest number of people living with a bleeding disorder, followed by von Willebrand disease. Life expectancy for hemophilia has dramatically increased since the advent of medicine to help combat the disorder. Modern medical treatments have extended the life expectancy of a hemophilia patient from 30 to 68 years. U.S. market In the U.S. alone there are over 17 thousand patients with hemophilia and 14 thousand with von Willebrand disease. Hemophilia A is more common than hemophilia B. In the U.S. around 13 thousand patients had hemophilia A as of 2023. Comparatively, just under 4.2 thousand patients had hemophilia B at that time. While hemophilia and other bleeding disorders can affect persons of any ethnicity, von Willebrand patients in the U.S. are largely white or Caucasian. In 2023, around 80 percent of von Willebrand patients were white.
