Blood Bank & Cardiovascular Health

Two views in one page: a month-by-month look at how a blood bank actually runs — collections, distribution, and stock — followed by the real-world epidemiology of the conditions that drive blood demand in the first place: anemia, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease.

Illustrative data

No public dataset tracks real-time blood-bank inventory at this level of detail — the figures below are simulated for demonstration, refreshed relative to today's date so the month-over-month and year-over-year comparisons always stay current. The blood-type mix is not arbitrary, though: it follows the real published U.S. population distribution (American Red Cross), so the relative proportions look like a real bank's.

Monthly Collections: This Year vs. Last Year

Units collected per month, compared to the same month one year prior — the seasonal dip around the winter holidays shows up in both lines

Collected vs. Distributed

Last 12 months — the gap between the two bars each month is what moves stock up or down

Current Stock by Blood Type

Units on hand, this month, split by the eight ABO/Rh types

Monthly Collection Log

Every month × blood-type × center combination, filterable by any of the three and searchable by name — click a column header to sort.

Global Health Context

Real data · WHO / OWID

Everything from here down is real, unmodified data. Anemia and hypertension are the two conditions most directly tied to blood health and blood demand worldwide — both remain stubbornly common even as overall life expectancy climbs.

Anemia Prevalence

World, latest available year, by group — pregnant women carry a disproportionate share of the burden

Hypertension by Sex

World, adults 30–79, over time — men consistently run a few points higher than women

Blood-Pressure-Related Mortality

World, age-standardized death rate per 100,000
