This study provides evidence that perceived fatigability may help identify well-functioning older adults with borderline to clinical anemia who are on a trajectory of persistently suboptimal or worsening hemoglobin status. Assessing fatigability may facilitate earlier diagnosis of health conditions that underlie persistent suboptimal hemoglobin status. J Am Geriatr Soc 68:2297-2302, 2020.
