title: The challenge of an ageing haemophilic population.
abstract: Life expectancy for haemophilia has increased significantly in many countries. This represents a major success of the improved safety of therapeutic materials to treat haemophilia and of improved quality of care. This improved longevity will generate a population of older individuals with haemophilia with complex medical problems associated with age and managing such clinical issues is likely to be challenging.
