    I'm struggling to find the charts but yes, frequency of illnesses caused by bacteria and viruses is high in children and seniors and low in adults (unless the adult is often around a child or senior). It's because the immune system is strongest in adults and weakest in the very young and very old.

    If you don't hang around kids or seniors, you'll rarely ever get sick.

      I feel like I am more often sick than when I was a youth, but it's probably the three kids I have in public school contributing to that.
