New study suggests teenagers are most at risk from H1N1.
Bloomberg News (1/21, Gale) reports a recent study has supported the World Health Organization's July analysis that "the median age of those infected with the H1N1 virus is 12 to 17 years." The study, which "analyzed antibody levels in blood-serum samples collated by a Health Protection Agency program in August-September and in 2008 across England in six age groups," determined that children younger than 15 were the group "most likely" to have been infected with the swine flu. The finding also means that "ten times as many children in London probably caught swine flu as doctors' records suggest."
