You might consider your family history of diseases. Heart disease, diabetes, and some types of mental illness among many others are passed down from generation to generation. If you’ve got parents or grandparents with any of those things that can be passed down, you might consider not donating. If you go to the NHS or a paid clinic they’ll 100% screen you for those things, but you might save yourself the trip if you know you’ve got them in your family tree.

This is the only real factor I’d say should be important. Heritable physical and mental diseases should be factored.
(Well, to you donating, that is. To people who want to use the donated, appearance like hair type/colour, eyes, height, or other stuff might be a thing).
