Possibly: With age hypermobility decreases, so someone previously diagnosed with hypermobility may fall below a diagnostic threshold later in life. However, in order to be diagnosed with 3 of the 4 major types of EDS, hypermobility or generalized joint laxity is a requirement under the major criteria. Vascular EDS is the only one that holds hypermobility as a minor criteria not sufficient for diagnosis.
