Bullous pemphigoid most commonly affects which age group?

• A. Adults 20-40
• B. Elderly over 90
• C. 65-75 years
• D. Children under 5

Answer: (C)

Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune blistering disease that predominantly affects older adults. The condition most commonly appears in people in their 60s to 80s, with the highest frequency typically in the late 60s to early 70s. That makes 65-75 years the best fit for the most common age group. While it can occur in the very elderly or, rarely, in children, it is uncommon in younger adults (like those aged 20-40) and less common in those over 90. Understanding this age pattern helps explain why the 65-75 bracket is the most representative.
