Can inherited anemia present at older age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are many different inherited anemias so it depends on which one you inherited. But, yes, some of the inherited anemias can present at an older age. Iron deficiency anemia and anemias due to folate and vitamin B12 deficiency can occur at any age. So, if you have anemia, these should also be ruled out by getting levels of these checked. Best of luck to you!
