Who's more vulnerable to getting sick, kids under the age of 5 years old or people over the age of 70 years old?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im guessing it is ppl over 70 since there immune systems are easily compromised and they are more vulnerable to things like cancer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what i thought but Childern under the age of 5 are more prone to get polio

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um polio can be eradicated lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are 3 types of polio and the facts say that 50% of cases are kids under the age of 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

children get vaccines too, which end up helping them with building immune systems. When ur older ur immune system is already built up so i guess this question is dependent on perspective

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was just making sure someone ugreed that it should be more of people over 70 than kids under the age of 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes in the long run i believe people who are over 70 are more susceptible to getting sick. I mean do u look at all the precautions that have to be taken when dealing with the elderly?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know i am doing an assignment on polio and i have to put and interesting fact so i am doing it about the age of people thanks
