Many complex forces are at work during adolescence which can contribute to the occurrence of anemia. Careful consideration of the entire patient should enable a physician to identify the unusual as well as the more common causes of anemia in this age group. Anemia in teenage girls is primarily due to menstrual iron loss. In boys, borderline diets and the demands of rapid growth predominate as causative factors. Hemoglobinopathies (thalassemia, sickle cell disease), G6PD deficiency, infectious mononucleosis, and illicit drug use account for small proportions of cases.
青春期期间有许多复杂的因素在起作用，这些因素可能导致贫血的发生。对整个患者进行仔细评估应能使医生识别出该年龄组贫血的不常见原因以及较常见原因。少女贫血主要是由于月经失血。在男孩中，临界饮食和快速生长的需求是主要的致病因素。血红蛋白病（地中海贫血、镰状细胞病）、葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶（G6PD）缺乏症、传染性单核细胞增多症和药物滥用占病例的比例较小。
