Abstract
People born from 1945–1965, sometimes referred to as baby boomers, are 5 times more likely to have hepatitis C than other adults. Hepatitis C can lead to liver damage, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer. Most people with hepatitis C do not know they are infected. This sheet tells what baby boomers should know about hepatitis C, why they have such high rates and how to get tested for hepatitis C.
