Older people get anemia for unknown official reasons. However, anemia in older people has been linked to iron deficiency as well as inflammation. Keeping iron intake up and keeping a healthy diet will help lower the risk of older people becoming anemic.

Can you catch Myelodysplastic Anaemia?

No you can not catch myelodysplastic anaemia from other people, as is the case for any type of anaemia. Myelodysplatic syndromes are characterised by ineffective production of myeloid blood cells (any white blood cell, excluding lymphocytes). Anaemia is a very common side effect of this type of disease. It is thought to be caused by exposure to environmental factors such as radiation. As it is caused by a defect in the production of blood cells, this can not be passed on from person to person.
