Age and sex
Age by sex
Shows count or percentage of cases by age group by sex for completed, nonduplicated webPOISONCONTROL cases. Ages are grouped as <6, 6-12, 13-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70-79 years. webPOISONCONTROL does not provide triage recommendations for infants younger than 6 months or seniors over 79 years due to the unique characteristics of poisonings in these more vulnerable age groups.
