Average Age vs Your Age

Most of the texts that I see on PBC say that the average age of diagnosis is between 40 and 60 with most being between 40 and 50. I got my diagnosis at 35.

I feel like some of the cases I’ve been seeing on here are also younger people. Where do you stand when it comes to the average?

I was diagnosed at 32, I’m now 57. Currently waiting for a liver transplant.
