Which statement about post-concussion syndrome demographics is true?

• A. It commonly affects females aged 20-30
• B. It commonly affects males aged 70-80
• C. It affects only children
• D. It is equally common across all ages and genders

Answer: (A)

Post-concussion syndrome shows a pattern where women are more likely than men to have persistent symptoms, and younger adults are commonly affected. Saying it commonly affects females aged 20–30 captures both the sex difference and the typical age range where prolonged symptoms are reported, often related to higher concussion exposure in sports and other activities and a greater likelihood of reporting or persisting symptoms. The other statements don’t fit this pattern: it isn’t limited to children, it isn’t confined to elderly men, and it isn’t equally common across all ages and genders.
