Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

According to the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health

"Among children and adults with sickle cell anemia (homozygous for sickle hemoglobin), the median age at death was 42 years for males and 48 years for females. Among those with sickle cell-hemoglobin C disease, the median age at death was 60 years for males and 68 years for females."

Best,
Susan
