What is the common age that people get peripheral neuropathy?

Unable to determine: There are so many different types of neurpathies that no specific age of onset can be determined.

Any age.: One can develop peripheral neuropathy at any age.

Later adult: Diabetes is the most common cause (in America), and tends to come on in later adult years.

It varies: Some people are born with neuropathy. Many people develop it as a consequence of Diabetes as an adult, often over 50 years old. The age of onset really varies with the cause. Not all causes of peripheral neuropathy are the same. Neuropathy is not an illness related to age. Hope that helps!

Not an aging problem: Although we lose fiber density, as we age, a true peripheral neuropathy is abnormal at any age. Diabetes is the most common cause in the us today. Heavy metal intoxication, medications , chemotherapy, are seen on occasion ..

None: That's like asking, "At what common age do most people get fat?" "Peripheral neuropathy" covers a lot of territory. It's uncommon in childhood but depending on the cause and type, adults can develop peripheral neuropathy at any age. To reiterate: It depends on the cause and type. There's a lot of information (and misinformation) on the Web about neuropathies. Consult a reputable source.
