Can thalassemia develop at the age of 20 years?
Very unlikely. Thalassemia is an inherited disease, affected persons are born with the genetic disorders. However, silent carriers (Alpha Thalassemia, 1 gene defect) or Beta Thalassemia Trait (1 gene defect), do not have significiant symptoms. Consequently, if this person did not have any relevant blood tests till the age of 20, he/she might no be aware of having the condition. That's only a hypothetical suggestion.

Can Thalassemia prevent Malaria?
Thalassemia itself does not prevent malaria, but individuals with thalassemia trait or certain forms of thalassemia may have a degree of protection against severe malaria due to the altered shape and function of their red blood cells. This change can make it more difficult for the malaria parasite to survive and reproduce. Consequently, while thalassemia does not prevent malaria infection, it can potentially reduce the severity of the disease in affected individuals.
