Following the recognition of the highest widespread virus outbreaks, it is crucial to understand which age groups are most affected. Documenting these demographics aids in resource allocation for treatment and prevention efforts. According to the World Health Organization (2019), vulnerable groups such as children, pregnant women, and adults bear the brunt of the disease load. Analysis indicates that the most affected age group is under 18, followed by those aged 61 and over, and then individuals aged 31-60. Conversely, the least affected groups are individuals aged 19-30 and those between 31-60, which likely correlates to a stronger immune system in these age brackets, rendering them less susceptible to infection (Lesourd & Meaume, 1994).

The bar graph further illustrates that the 19-30 age group is the least affected, a pattern supported by Morse (2001), who notes that age-related differences in disease impact may be influenced by exposure levels or immune vulnerability. Determining whether age-related susceptibility results from exposure or inherent vulnerability requires examining exposure histories among individuals with and without the disease.

Prevalence rates vary across cities and age groups. Based on data from the United States Census Bureau (2017), with a population of approximately 325 million, the prevalence rate per 100,000 is calculated by dividing the number of infections within an age group by the total U.S. population, then multiplying by 100,000. For example, in Jacksonville, with 322 cases, the prevalence rate is approximately 0.322%. Similar calculations for other cities reveal variability in infection rates: Jacksonville (0.322%), Miami (0.299%), Phoenix (0.289%), Austin (0.281%), and Houston (0.273%). These figures highlight differences in disease spread and possibly effectiveness of local interventions.

Analyzing the spatial distribution of cases elucidates patterns vital for public health response. For instance, the occurrence of cases fluctuates over time and across locations, with some cities experiencing sporadic outbreaks. This variability underscores the necessity for targeted investigations into environmental, social, and behavioral factors influencing disease transmission. Recognizing seasonality and secular trends further enhances predictive models, enabling better preparedness.

Conclusion

Understanding which age groups are most affected and the prevalence rates across different cities guides effective resource deployment and intervention strategies. Combining demographic data with spatial and temporal patterns aids public health agencies in crafting tailored responses, ultimately aiming to reduce infection rates and achieve healthier communities. Continued monitoring and analysis are vital as the disease dynamics evolve, fostering proactive rather than reactive measures.
