Detailed explanation-1: -Older adults have a higher risk because as people age, their immune systems and organs don’t recognize and get rid of harmful germs as well as they once did. Nearly half of people aged 65 and older who have a lab-confirmed foodborne illness from Salmonella, Campylobacter, Listeria or E. coli are hospitalized.
Detailed explanation-2: -Children younger than five years are at an increased risk for foodborne illness and related health complications because their immune systems are still developing. Young children with developing immune systems cannot fight off infections as well as adults.
Detailed explanation-3: -Children under the age of 5 are at particular risk for foodborne illness because they do not have fully developed immune systems, have a lower body weight, and produce less stomach acid.
Detailed explanation-4: -Young, healthy adults are the least susceptible to foodborne illness.
Detailed explanation-5: -Everyone is at risk for foodborne illness, or food poisoning, but some people are more vulnerable to its effects. Adults age 65 and older, young children, pregnant individuals and those with weakened immune systems are at higher risk.
