What age group is croup more common in children?

  1. < 2 years

  2. < 4 years

  3. < 6 years

  4. All children equally

The correct answer is: < 6 years

Croup is most commonly found in children younger than six years old. While croup can occur in children of any age, it is most commonly seen in infants and toddlers. Children over the age of six are typically less susceptible to croup because their airways are larger and more developed, making it less likely for the virus that causes croup to cause symptoms. Additionally, croup is not equally common in all children because the size and shape of their airways can affect their susceptibility to the virus.
