Volume : III, Issue : II, March - 2013 ABO BLOOD GROUP AND REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE AMONG THE MEITEIS OF CACHAR DISTRICT OF ASSAM, INDIA A. F. GULENUR ISLAM BARBHUIYA AND REKHA DAS Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Present paper is an effort to see the fertility performance with reference to ABO
incompatibility among 103 Meitei fertile couples of three villages namely Dakshin
Mohanpur-V, Sundari-IV and Saint Katherine village of Cachar district, Assam. The
data have been collected by household census followed by interview method. ABO blood
grouping of the couples have been done by open slide technique using antisera, anti-A
and anti-B. The findings of the present study reveals that though there is no significant
difference between compatible and incompatible couples but mean conception (3.13),
live birth (2.93) and pregnancy wastage (0.15) are less among the incompatible couples.
Average incidence of spontaneous abortion is also found to be less (0.04) among the
incompatibles but mean still birth (0.11) is marginally high among the incompatibles. AB
incompatibles are having higher mean conceptions (3.50) and live births (3.25) among
all the incompatible groups (A, B and AB incompatibles). But incidence of still births and
spontaneous abortions are more among the B incompatibles. Mean pregnancy (8.00),
live birth (7.0) and still birth (2.00) is found to be high in A (wife) and AB (husband)
blood group combination but average spontaneous abortion is more (0.27) in O (wife)
and O (husband) blend. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : A. F. GULENUR ISLAM BARBHUIYA AND REKHA DAS, (2013).
