What Is Anemia?
9. Risk Factors
Anemia is a relatively common condition, and nobody is completely safe from it. However, there are some people that are more likely to develop it than others are. Perhaps the most at risk group are people that don’t have a balanced diet, along with people that have digestive system disorders that can prevent them from absorbing the nutrients they need.
Pregnant women are also at risk, as are women that have not yet been through the menopause. Some infections will make people more prone, as will some long term inflammatory diseases. Also at risk are people that have lost a lot of blood. People over the age of 65 are also in a higher risk category.
