The following chart shows the five most common blood types in different countries. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.The chart shows the proportion of population in five different countries with five different blood types, O, A, B and AB positive and O negative. In Saudi Arabia, the Philippines and Spain, the majority of people have type O+, at 48%, 46% and 36% respectively, while in Norway and Japan, the major blood group is A+ at 41% and 40% each. In all five countries these two groups dominate, except in the Philippines where type B+ stands at 24% and type A+ at 23%. Type AB+ is present in a small percentage of the population of all five countries, but is twice as common in Japan at 10% as in the other four countries, which average 4%. Three countries – Saudi Arabia, Norway and Spain - have a small percentage of people with type O-; Saudi in equal quantity with AB+, and with Norway and Spain in similar numbers to B+. However, this type is entirely absent in both the Philippines and Japan. Overall, O+, A+, B+ and AB+ account for Japan’s entire population and 97% of the Philippines’, while these and O- are present in 97% of the people in Saudi Arabia and Norway, and just 90% in Spain.
